🔪How To Make Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs?
Step One: Boil your eggs. After twelve minutes of boiling, remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in the cold water bath. Allow them to set for a few minutes.
Step Two: Once peeled, start cutting the eggs in half and placing the cooked yolk in a separate bowl. Once all are separated, set the halved whites aside for later.
Step Three: Grab your bowl with the cooked egg yolks and add in half of your ripened avocado. Mash until it's smooth and creamy. Add the bloody mary seasoning mix. We added about 2 ½ teaspoons, but taste test it after each teaspoon to see your preference. Add a pinch of salt if needed and stir.
Step Four: After mixing, fill the hollowed-out egg whites with a spoon or use a pastry bag for pouring mixture. Top with a fresh jalapeno pepper or a sprinkle of cumin. Serve and enjoy!
