# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • This appetizer is secretly a conversation starter at any party, thanks to its unexpected twist on a classic.
  • The creamy avocado pairs so well with rich yolks, and you can adjust the spice to suit anyone's taste.
02 -
  • If you try peeling eggs straight from the pot, you'll end up with pockmarked whites—the ice bath makes all the difference.
  • I discovered that covering the guacamole filling with plastic wrap right on its surface keeps it from turning brown while waiting for guests.
03 -
  • Always taste your guacamole mixture before filling—sometimes a surprise dash of salt is all it needs.
  • Using smoked paprika instead of regular takes these eggs from ordinary to irresistible.
