1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes, then peel.
- Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks.
- In a bowl, mash the avocado and egg yolks together until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in lime juice, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture into the egg white halves.

Notes
Swap red onion with green onion for a milder flavor.
Add hot sauce or cayenne for more spice.
Mix in Greek yogurt for extra creaminess (adds dairy).
Use crushed red pepper instead of jalapeños if needed.
Try smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap on the filling surface to prevent browning; refrigerate up to 2 days.
