Satan Would Hate This Recipe

@Michelle that sounds so delicious. Thanks for the tip.

We use avocado instead of mayonnaise in our deviled eggs. Check our Facebook page ("California Avocados Direct") for photo and recipe. The green avocado is pretty in the egg, and adds lots of nutrition. My 91 year old mother loves that she can make herself just one egg. It's a great snack!

Egg cookers are THE BEST invention for the single person. I bought mine at a local kitchen gadget store for only $7.50. Altho not as cool as the one above, it's a little plastic rocket ship-type deal (way too cute). I just one egg over the rim, stick a knife in to open the yolk, screw the lid back on and put in microwave for only 45 seconds -- no pots to clean, no water, no peeling...and Viola! It's really a dream if you like spinach salad for lunch! BTW, this egg salad looks dreamy! Thanks Snack Girl! Lynda

Love these ideas! My grandma used to make the deviled eggs for our family gatherings and now I've tried to take it on. I have to say I hate peeling eggs. So I will have to try that secret egg peeling trick;-) Thanks!

Add a few tablespoons of vinegar to the water before boiling the eggs, and the shells won't stick!

I have that egg cooker (a recent purchase) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! What a wonderful thing! Eggs turn out perfect EVERY time!!

Healthy Recipe for deviled eggs

Natalie on April 11, 2011

I am confused by the points calculation. The recipe contains 8 eggs which is 16 points and according to the top it serves 4. This would mean that with the eggs alone a serving would be at a minimum of 4 points?

I use hummus as well, but perhaps a little different than above. I don't use it in place of mayo- I use it in place of mayo and the yolk. Just Trader Joe's chipotle hummus in the halved egg white. You can have 2 eggs (4 halves) with 2 Tbsp. hummus for 2 points, or for 3 points, 3 eggs (6 halves) with 3 Tbsp hummus for 3 points, since either 2 or 3 egg whites is 1point and all you have to change the value of is the hummus.

Enjoy!

Use old eggs and the shell won't stick. At least a week old.

I have also heard and am excited about the idea of not using the egg yolk at all- the filling I saw suggested was mashed lentil- you could eat so many 'angeled' eggs this way without feeling guilty! mmm I'm excited just thinking about it

How about no mayonnaise?

When we started doing Fat Flush, I came across a recipe for devilled eggs that's actually very satisfying. Instead of mayo, they use flaxseed oil (full of omega-3's), apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and I add a bit of Stevia (most mayo is somewhat sweetened). Add some mustard powder, crushed garlic, minced onion, and a little cayenne; sprinkle with fresh dill and paprika. Delicious, and doesn't even feel like diet food.

Incidentally, no-one should feel guilty about eating a few egg yolks! Most of the things I've read recently indicate that eggs (yes, WHOLE EGGS) are a perfectly-balanced protein source. We all need to get it into our heads that NOT ALL FATS ARE BAD. Indeed, some are essential.

I also use hummus to fill the egg white and it is SOO delish. Then we give the yolks to our small (under 5) children because they don't like the "rubber" part of the egg anyway.

Anne on April 18, 2011

OMG this was AMAZING. I've always loved deviled eggs, but avoid them because of the mayo - love all the ideas here. I followed the recipe here but didn't have dijon mustard, so I used spicy brown. Also didn't feel like dealing with roasted peppers, so I baked a pepper at 450 for 15 minutes and then chopped it in a minichopper. Also, try using vegenaise - it's the only mayo substitute that tastes as good, and has no cholesterol!

Only "problem" here was that I ended up eating a double serving...lol...But it was lunch, so I justified it. :D

Can't stand mayo myself, so I have long used yellow mustard instead, and it gives the eggs some zip without overwhelming those that can't handle the heat ;)

My dad was told by his doctor not to eat the yolks due to his cholesterol, so for his I set aside about half of the egg whites, and the other half I smash and mix with my fillings: mustard, chopped pickles, minced garlic, and once I fill the egg whites with the mixture I top it with a dash of paprika or cayenne.
