Healthy Deviled Eggs have a pillowy bed of flavorful, tangy yolk on top a crisp cold shell, the perfect lighter version of this party favorite! Â
Nothing says Easter or spring that like deviled eggs, alright? Â Honestly, I could take them or leave them, I mostly think they are good, but they aren’t my favorite thing about spring foods. Â (Now carrot cake, on the other hand, I’m all over that.)
You know who thinks they are the best food that you could ever possibly eat? Â If you guessed Mr. Hungry, you’d be right. Â The man LOVES himself some deviled eggs. Â After years of asking me to make him a healthier version, I finally decided to give it a go.
The thing is, most “healthy” deviled egg recipes call for Greek yogurt as the substitute for mayo. Â The thing is, I don’t have anything against a high-quality mayo, other than it being a little too calorie dense, especially if you would like to eat more than just a half of an egg.
My complaint against Greek yogurt is the tartness it imparts on the mixture that really shouldn’t be there. Instead, I decided to use a mix of sweet relish and swiss laughing cow to give flavor while lightening up this classic dish.
I served them to Mr. Hungry without saying a word about how they were made. Â He freaking loved them, so much I had to stop him at eight halves so that I could have some for breakfast. Â When I told him I used laughing cow instead of mayonnaise he almost didn’t believe me.
Then the other day, out of nowhere (because my husband is highly random in his thought process) he said: “Hey remember the other day when you put laughing cow in deviled eggs, and they tasted bomb?” Â
Um, yes? Â Then he said, “genius.” Â Â Normally I would have done cartwheels in the living room, but I was so surprised I just sat there staring at him, I’m sure it was quite hysterical to witness. Â You pretty much have to make them, they were … genius!
