  2. Peel the hardboiled eggs, then slice in half lengthwise.

  3. Remove the yolks from the egg halves and transfer to a small bowl. Mash into small pieces with a fork.

  4. Add the avocado, lemon juice or vinegar, oil, salt, and black pepper. Mash with the fork to combine, adding more lemon juice or vinegar and/or oil to adjust the flavor and consistency as desired.

  5. Using two spoons, one to scoop and one to scrape, divide the egg yolk-avocado mixture between the egg white halves (~1 tablespoon each).

  6. Sprinkle the paprika over the tops of the filled eggs.

  7. Serve right away, or chill before serving if desired.
