Deviled Eggs Mimosa

Choose avocados that feel slightly soft to the touch, indicating ripeness.

Cool hard-boiled eggs under cold running water immediately after cooking to make peeling easier.

When mashing the avocado and yolk mixture, use a fork for a chunkier texture or a food processor for a smoother consistency.

For an eye-catching presentation, use a piping bag to fill the egg whites with the filling instead of spooning it.

Experiment with flavoring the oil; infused oils like garlic or chili oil can add extra flavor.

To keep avocados from browning, add a little lemon juice to the filling before spreading it into the egg whites.

Garnish with microgreens or edible flowers for a gourmet touch.

To get a smooth filling, mash the avocado and egg yolks thoroughly using a fork or a food processor for an ultra-creamy texture.

Measuring Spoon: Specifically a tablespoon, to measure the olive oil needed for the egg filling.

Mixing Bowl: To combine the egg yolks, avocado, garlic, and olive oil.

Fork or Potato Masher: For mashing the avocado and egg yolks together to create a smooth filling. For a smoother filling you can use a food processor.

Knife: For slicing the avocados in half, removing the pits, and finely chopping the reserved egg whites and yolks.

Cutting Board: Provides a stable surface for cutting the avocados and preparing the eggs.

Spoon: For spooning the mashed egg yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. If you want to get fancy, you can use a pastry bag to pipe the filling.

Serving Platter: A dish to present the finished deviled eggs mimosa for serving.

Crispy Bacon: Crumble crispy bacon on top for a salty, crunchy contrast. The smokiness of the bacon nicely complements the rich avocado.

Chili Oil: Drizzle chili oil over the Eggs Mimosa for a spicy kick. The heat from the oil balances the creaminess of the avocado and adds a vibrant color.

Microgreens: Garnish with fresh microgreens for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.

Grilled Shrimp: Pair with grilled shrimp skewers for a protein boost. The smoky, charred flavor of the shrimp enhances the dish while providing a more substantial bite.

Sweet Pickles: A few sweet pickles on the side can contrast the savory notes of the dish with their sweetness.

Wine Pairings
Sauvignon Blanc: This wine brings a zesty acidity that's perfect for balancing the creaminess of the avocado. Look for one with grassy or citrus notes to really enhance the fresh flavors of your deviled eggs.

Chardonnay: A lightly oaked Chardonnay can work wonders here. Its buttery richness complements the avocado while its citrusy hints add a refreshing touch. Go for one that's not overly heavy.

Rose: With its fruity yet dry nature, a good rose will add a hint of brightness to this dish. Look for one with strawberry or melon notes, which can play nicely off the avocado's creaminess without overshadowing it.

Other Alcohol Pairings
Sparkling Wine: A nice, dry sparkling wine (think Cava or Prosecco) can elevate your eggs to brunch royalty. The bubbles add a festive touch and their acidity cuts through the richness of the filling perfectly.

Gin and Tonic: This classic drink, especially with a cucumber twist, brings a refreshing herbal quality that pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado and garlic.

Pilsner: A crisp pilsner is an excellent match. Its light and refreshing qualities will keep the focus on your deviled eggs while adding a little bit of zing.

Non-Alcoholic Pairings
Sparkling Water with Lime: Try pairing your deviled eggs with sparkling water splashed with lime juice. It keeps things light and refreshing.

Iced Herbal Tea: A lightly brewed iced herbal tea, like mint or chamomile, can provide a grow-up twist without alcohol. It's soothing and offers a gentle contrast to the creamy texture of the eggs.

Coconut Water: For something a bit different, coconut water can add a tropical feel. Its subtle sweetness is a nice complement to the avocado, making it a fun pairing choice.
