Honduran Stuffed Eggs

Ingredients

In the original Hungarian version, the stuffed eggs are typically filled with a mixture of egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and spices. However, in this Honduran adaptation, the filling is made with mashed avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and Honduran spices, giving it a tropical twist and a unique flavor profile.
