Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are a popular snack for any occasion, and can be made in many different ways. To make classic deviled eggs, hard boil some eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

If you don’t want to use real eggs or just need something new to try, there are plenty of alternatives! Here’s a comparison of several options:

Tofu deviled eggs are an excellent vegan alternative that still has a similar taste and texture to traditional deviled eggs. Simply cube silken tofu then mix with vegan mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper and other seasonings as desired. Eggplant devilled eggs offer a delicious twist on regular deviled eggs by replacing chicken egg whites instead with mashed cooked eggplant flesh mixed together with your favorite spices like cumin powder or smoked paprika. For those who prefer something even lighter than both of these, avocado deviled eggs can provide all of the flavor without too much fat content — simply mash ripe avocados together with lime juice and seasoning before filling into halved bell peppers or cucumber slices.
