Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
6 hard-boiled eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (low-carb or sugar-free)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish
Instructions
Start by boiling the eggs: Place them in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-12 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined, and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or mustard, according to your preference.
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to do this for a more decorative look.
Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over each deviled egg for added flavor and presentation.
Once all the eggs are filled, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and for the deviled eggs to chill.
Serve the low-carb deviled eggs as an appetizer or snack. They can be enjoyed on their own or garnished with additional chopped chives, fresh herbs, or even crispy bacon bits.
Enjoy your delicious and low-carb deviled eggs!
