avocado-deviled-eggs-1Back when I was getting ready for my knee replacement surgery, I found myself fidgeting, anxious, and cooking an awful lot, I think just to fill the time leading up to the big day. That’s when I actually made these deviled eggs, but it occurs to me they will be perfect for a summer 4th of July picnic, so without further delay, I give you Avocado Deviled Eggs.avocado-deviled-eggsYou will first want to be sure you follow my guidelines for the perfect hard cooked eggs. Then once you have the eggs cooled, these are simple to pull together. I’m giving you the recipe for a party, using a whole dozen eggs, but you can easily cut this in half, or double the recipe, as needed. Here’s to summer!
