# Cooking Directions:

01 - Arrange eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When boiling, cover the pan, remove from heat, and allow eggs to sit for 10 minutes.
02 - Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool completely. Gently peel the eggs and slice each one in half, lengthwise.
03 - Remove yolks carefully from the egg halves and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks using a fork until fine.
04 - Cut the avocado, discard the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with mashed yolks. Mash together until smooth and well blended.
05 - Stir in finely minced red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and diced tomato. Mix thoroughly until the filling is uniform.
06 - Pipe or spoon the guacamole filling evenly into the hollowed egg white halves.
07 - Dust filled eggs with smoked paprika and top with cilantro leaves. Refrigerate until ready for service.
