Preparation

Step 1

1. Shell the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Transfer the yolks to a small bowl. Set the halves on a platter, cover and refrigerate.

2. In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado well with a fork, then add the yolks and mash to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, chopped tarragon and salt and mix until smooth. You can also do this with an electric mixer with a whip attachment. Taste and season accordingly.

3. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly. Top each egg with a tarragon leaf and a grind of black pepper before serving.
