Step-by-step
- Start by cooking the eggs. Fill a small saucepan with water up to three quarters. Add a good pinch of salt. This will prevent the eggs from cracking. Bring to a boil.
- Using a spoon or hand, dip each egg in and out of the boiling water - be careful not to get burnt. This will prevent the egg from cracking as the temperature change won't be so dramatic.
- To get the eggs hard-boiled, you need round 10 minutes. This timing works for large eggs. When done, remove from the heat and place in a bowl filled with cold water.
- Dice the eggs and finely slice the spring onion.
- In a bowl, mix the diced eggs, mayo, sour cream, Dijon mustard and spring onion - leave some spring onion for garnish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scoop the middle of the avocado out leaving ½ - 1 inch of the avocado flesh.
- Cut the scooped avocado into small pieces.
- Place the chopped avocado into the bowl with eggs and mix until well combined.
- Fill each avocado half with the egg & avocado mixture and top with more spring onion.
