those are my eggs. I touched up the photo in Instagram. I am proud of it. |
Most folks like deviled eggs. I know I do. I actually prefer my eggs hard boiled, or poached hard. I am not a fan of over easy or scrambled, which always seems to make for an interesting breakfast. Truth be told, I would take lunch or dinner foods over breakfast foods any day. I am not afraid to eat soup and a salad, or mashed potatoes and some baked chicken before 10:00 a.m.
Two weekends ago my girlfriends and I got together for a Spring Tea Party. I, of course, wanted to contribute and attempted to figure out a savory food item that was safe enough for me to make, instead of my normal baked good. Although it was a risky move, I went with deviled eggs. I made half spicy by adding a tablespoon of Sriracha to the filling, and the other half dilly by adding a teaspoon of dill. They came out great, but I couldn’t help but think: how can I make these healthier, aka without mayonnaise. I don’t totally hate mayo (i.e., I love cole slaw, but would never ever put it on my sandwich). I experimented last night and substituted the mayo with plain Greek yogurt. The result wasn’t exceptional tasting, but it wasn’t bad. I think if I added a touch more salt, things would have turned out better. Next time I eat a few I think I am going to grab the salt grinder and sprinkle away.
My eggs were loosley based off of this recipe - thanks Martha: http://www.marthastewart.com/340244/deviled-eggs
