Lime juice adds kick to this lush, dreamy pairing.
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/4 cup mashed avocado
1 tbsp lime juice
3/4 tsp wasabi paste
1/4 tsp salt
sliced mini cucumber
cilantro
black sesame seeds
Instructions
PLACE eggs in a single layer in a pot and add enough cold water to cover by 1 in. Boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 min. Immediately drain and rinse with cold running water to cool eggs completely. Peel eggs, then cut each in half lengthwise.
DISCARD yolks. Stir mashed avocados, lime juice, wasabi paste and salt. Fill a piping bag or a small plastic freezer bag with yolk mixture, then cut off a corner. Pipe into egg whites. Top with cucumber, cilantro and sesame seeds.

Preparation tips:
- The fresher the eggs, the more difficult they are to peel, so choose the slightly older eggs in your refrigerator.
- To prevent a dark green ring from forming around the yolks, cool the eggs rapidly in running cold water as soon as they’re finished cooking.
- After draining and cooling eggs, gently crack them all over and keep them soaking in cold water, then start peeling from the large end.
- For smooth, clean edges, use a sharp knife to cut eggs in half. Avoid serrated knives.
- Use a whisk to mash yolks or put them through a sieve to keep them light and velvety. A piping bag fitted with a star tip will give your yolks a swirly, elegant finish.
