Instructions
- Peel eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove egg yolks from halved eggs and place 3 yolks in a small bowl; discard remaining yolks.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover stuffed eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’re best consumed within two days to enjoy the freshness of the avocado.
- Freezing: It’s not ideal to freeze these stuffed eggs as the avocado will change texture. Make them fresh for the best experience.
- Pairing: Consider serving these with tortilla chips or fresh veggies for a complete snack platter.
- Garnish: For an extra pop of flavor, you can top the stuffed eggs with additional diced tomatoes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Flavor Enhancements: Feel free to experiment with spices in the filling; cumin or chili powder can add an exciting twist!
