Deviled Egg Cupcakes

Author: Laura Bais
If you hate peeling the boiled eggs or simply want fancier appetizers -this one is for you! Eggs and avocados are a match made in heaven, so I used that combination. I made them as tiny Christmas trees to fit the holiday theme! Chilli, lime, and smoked paprika fuse all the flavors together in one perfect bite!

Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin
  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 eggs (large or 8 S-size eggs)
  • 3 avocados (ripe)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)(or more if needed)
  • 2 tbsp chives
  • handfull parsley (freshly plucked)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
 

Baking the Eggs

  • Coat the cupcake molds with butter and bring the oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
  • Separate whites from yolks. Give a quick stir to the whites, nothing much, and season them with salt and pepper. Pour them into the molds, until almost full. Fill 6 molds with whites and 4 with yolks.
  • Bake them for about 20 minutes. Remove them from the tin and leave the whites to cool while you work on the topping.

Making the Topping

  • Mash the yolks and avocados with a fork into a coarse texture.
  • Put them both into a food processor. Add fresh parsley, chives, a splash of squeezed lime juice, and spices. For the spices, add sea salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and onion powder. Pulsate the processor a few times until you get a creamy texture.
  • Decorating
  • Use a piping bag with the widest tip to "frost" the egg crusts. Decorate them to resemble Christmas trees. Sprinkle them generously with chili flakes and smoked paprika.
