Kimkins Deviled Eggs


Who doesn't love a deviled egg? Not only is it a perfect Kimkins snack food, but an easy and festive dish for the party table or BBQs.

This modified recipe is a snap to make and you'll have a ready supply for work lunch lettuce wraps, too! Substituting yogurt for part of the mayo cuts fat calories and adds an extra dash of protein.

Ingredients (makes 12 halves)
  • 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp mustard, plain or spicy
  • 1 Tbsp parsley or green onion, minced
  • 1/4 tsp each pepper & pepper
Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a bowl. Mash yolks with a fork and add mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, parsley, salt & pepper. Mix well.

Fill a small pastry bag with star tip with egg yolk mixture (or fill a Ziploc baggie & snip corner). Pipe egg white halves with yolk mixture, garnish with additional parsley if desired, arrange on a platter and serve! Cover and store in the fridge for up to 72 hours.

Variation: Blend salsa until smooth, substitute for mayonnaise and mustard or add 2 T grated parmesan cheese. Make your own preservative free natural yogurt at home.
