Living a keto lifestyle doesn’t mean that you have to give up on the foods that you love. You might have to find a way to alter them, but you can still enjoy many of the same tastes and flavors.
Since eggs are a great protein to eat and enjoy on a low-carb diet, why not spruce them up a bit with one of the best superfoods possible? Adding some avocado, mustard, and paprika will take your taste buds on a wild but delicious ride.
How To Make Low Carb Deviled Eggs
Heat a saucepan with 3 cups of water. Once the water starts boiling, add the eggs carefully and cook for 10-12 minutes.
Once done, peel the eggshell and cut lengthwise to remove the yolks separately.
Place the yolks and remaining ingredients into a food processor blend until smooth mixture. I usually use blender
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe them in each egg white halves.
Garnish the deviled eggs with paprika and cilantro and serve.
Are there any tips to make peeling eggs easier?
While there is never any guarantee, there are a few tricks that you can try to see if they work for you. Some people find that adding salt to the boiling water helps with peeling the eggs. There is really no set amount, you just add in what you think is best.
You can also let the eggs cool down a bit after boiling them and then peel them under a stream of cooler water as well. This tends to help with the contrast of the temperatures making the eggs easier to peel.
What are some variations for making deviled eggs?
While the recipe below calls for mustard, there are other recipes for eggs that use mayonnaise instead. Both give that creamy addition needed for the eggs, but they have totally different flavors and tastes.
I’ve also eaten several deviled eggs that are sweet in flavor, which can be a nice contrast, too.
How To Store Leftover Deviled Eggs
Store any leftover eggs in a container in the fridge. Make sure that the container has a lid on it so that you can keep that egg smell in the container and not wafting throughout the entire fridge!
