Lightened Up Deviled Eggs
Serves 6
One serving (2 egg halves) yields 85.3 calories, 5.5 grams of fat, 1.8 grams of carbs, and 6.4 grams of protein
Ingredients
- 6 large hardboiled eggs
- 3 Tbsp. fat free mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tsp pickle juice
- 1 Tbsp. celery, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. parsley, chopped
Directions
- Cut each hardboiled egg in half, lengthwise, and remove the yolks.
- Place the yolks in a large bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they are small, uniform, and granular.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the yolks, then stir to combine.
- Using a scoop or piping bag, carefully add the yolk mixture back into each egg half.
- Enjoy!
Extra tips:
> By mashing only four of the egg yolks, you’ll save 20 calories and 1 gram of fat without changing the taste.
> If you would like to decorate your deviled eggs for a Halloween party, you can make them look like scary eyeballs! Top each deviled egg with a slice of black olive and a caper. Then use red food coloring to create “bloody” streaks. Gross! But fun!
