THE TEST

how many eggs you should use. It does say "3 egg yolks" which we interpreted as 3 eggs/6 egg halves. (Note that the picture has 6 eggs/12 egg halves.) It's as easy to make as egg salad - peel egg, cut, and mash.
The avocado/egg mash was pretty good - similar to a rich guacamole. However, something bizarre happened when adding it back into the egg white. Despite liking the mash and egg whites, the combination of the two was not at all appetizing. Says Guinea Pig Karen, "I don't get it. I love them both individually, but together they were just horrible. I could only eat two! Normally I could pop deviled eggs like candy and eat guacamole by the spoonful."
In regards to quantity, there was some leftover mash in the bowl that could probably make some more eggs. Perhap increasing the egg count to 6 (as pictured) was the original intent, but then you'll have 3 random hard boiled egg yolks leftover. (For salads, maybe?)
For those worried about discoloration, we did check the eggs after a few hours to see if the guacamole was getting brown. Discoloration after a few hours was minimal.
CONCLUSION
A true disappointment.
Proves that AWESOME + AWESOME =/= MORE AWESOME.
