Avocado Lettuce Cups are quaint yet surprisingly filling. Of course avocado is good for you and with lettuce as the vessel, it's a healthy salad in a couple of mouth fulls.
First, fill a small saucepan with water up to three quarters and 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.
Cut the avocado in half and scoop the meat out. Using a fork, mash it in a bowl.
When the eggs are done, let them cool down by adding some cold water and then peel the shell off.
Dice the eggs and add them to the bowl with the avocado. Squeeze in the lemon.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and add mayonnaise.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives and spring onion.
Wash and drain the lettuce well on a paper tissue or in a lettuce strainer.
Separate the leaves and scoop the mixture into each leaf. Enjoy!
To get the eggs hard-boiled, you need round 10 minutes. This timing works for large eggs!
I sometimes also add a teaspoon of curry OR mustard powder to the mixture for a spicy twist
