Recipe Ingredients
The main ingredients for this avocado deviled eggs recipe are large eggs, avocado, olive oil, white wine vinegar, capers, dijon mustard, jalapeno, garlic, fresh cilantro, paprika, radishes, and chives. First, make sure that your eggs are at least a week old. If you use freshly picked eggs, it will be really hard to peel them later. Second, make sure that your pan is big enough to accommodate all of the eggs in a single. If your pan is too small the eggs will not cook evenly. Place the eggs in a pan and cover them with 2-inches of water. Bring them to a full boil (or some people call it, rolling boil). As soon as it does, take your eggs off the heat, put the lid on, and let them sit for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, prep an ice water bath by placing cold water in a bowl with a few ice cubes. Using a slotted spoon fish out the eggs and place them into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Crack each hard boiled egg and peel it under running water: Simply, crack the egg, roll it on the counter and peel it under cold running water.

You can slow down the browning by drizzling a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lime juice), but it will still brown if it sits for a long time. If you decide to make them ahead, this is what I would do:
