Avocado Deviled Eggs

So this is my 2nd time trying to make this recipe. Last week, I tried making hard boiled eggs in the oven. The website I used said use 325-350 degrees so I used 350 thinking it would be better than raw eggs. BAD IDEA. They burnt & I had to throw them all away. So, this week I used 325 & ended up keeping them in for 30 minutes. This is what they came out looking like... I was so scared they burnt again!
Right after they come out of the oven you're supposed to submerge them in cold water. I had read that if you put in a teaspoon of baking soda, they shell will peel off easily. I'm pretty sure they were talking about when you actually boil the eggs but I decided to try it anyway... (P.S. - the brown spots come off for the most part in the cold water)
After the cooled it was time to test the peeling trick... it was a fail for the most part. It only ended up working on one & it may have been a fluke! Also, I decided that I like boiling instead of baking. There were little burnt spots in the egg that I had to cut out:(
Now that these super ugly eggs peeled, it was time to make the middle! I used this recipe...

I was taught to put the filling into a baggie like icing to make them look pretty (so they're not even MORE of an eyesore;))
The only thing I did different from the recipe was using paprika instead of cayenne pepper on top.
This recipe is absolutely divine. It's a must-try if you like deviled eggs & avocados. It was actually so good I ended up using the leftover paste for my lunch. It tasted great in a wrap too!
I used a multigrain tortilla, romaine lettuce, tomato & provolone cheese in addition to the avocado egg paste. Yum!
