Use up your leftover hard boiled eggs and transform them into a creamy egg salad you can slather on some fresh bread. The flavor is bold, but very comforting. I totally forget about egg salad! With Easter right around the corner, you have the eggs already made, so….

Deliciously Deviled Eggs!

categories: Recipes

Deviled eggs are perfect as an app, finger food, and this time of year, eggs are all the rage!!

Is the most unhealthy ingredient the mayo? or the yolk?

One egg yolk has 5 grams of fat and 54 calories. Save on 50% of the calories by using nonfat Greek yogurt or nonfat cottage cheese to make up some of the yolk volume.

Obviously use a non-fat mayo or eliminate it all together and use greek yogurt or avocado.

Lets talk taste…Mustard snobs everywhere insist on using a dark mustard such as Grey Poupon in deviled egg recipes when yellow mustard is the perfect option. It has the tang needed to amp up the flavor.
