Avocado Deviled Eggs=Big Party Hit!

I was in charge of creating some appetizers for my friend's shower last weekend, and couldn't help but notice all the "avocado deviled eggs" recipes in food magazines and cooking shows lately!  Since we have 40 chickens, I always like to mix in some sort of egg recipe when I bring food to parties.

So, these super easy, super cute avocado deviled eggs were my choice.  They were super delicious, and a big hit!  Just make sure you make them no more than a couple hours before serving.  I took a couple on my ride home with me after the shower, and they were looking a little brownish by the end of the day (but I ate them anyway and they still tasted great)!
Avocado Deviled Eggs


Avocado Deviled Eggs
12 medium eggs, hard boiled and peeled
 2 large avocados

 1-2 tsp lemon or lime juice (optional, but will help keep from browning)
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
1 Tbsp mayo
paprika for the top of eggs

Directions:
Halve the eggs length-wise and remove the yolks to a bowl.  Arrange the egg white halves on a platter and set aside.

To bowl of yolks, add the avocado and mash with a fork until desired consistency. Stir in the lemon juice, mayo, salt and pepper.  spoon generous helping of this mixture in to each egg half and sprinkle the top with paprika!
