Stuffed eggs with avocado and chives are a fancy antipasto for Christmas feasts.
8 eggs
1 avocado, about 400 g
2 teaspoonfuls of mayonnaise
chives
juice of half a lemon

Boil the eggs in abundant water for about 10 minutes until they’re hard.
Let them cool. Remove the eggshell and cut into halves with a paring knife. Remove the yolks and put aside in a bowl.
Cut the avocado into halves, remove the pit and the skin using a spoon.
Combine the avocado and yolks, add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and mash all the ingredients with a fork. When the mixture is smooth, add the mayonnaise and keep on mixing.
In order to obtain a cream-like texture use a blender. Fill the egg halves with the mixture using a pastry bag, add chives and pepper to taste and serve stuffed eggs with avocado as an antipasto.
