Eggs are one thing we ALWAYS have at our house so deviled eggs become my last minute entertaining go-to dish. It's easy to do a million different variations of the classic dish with whatever ingredients you have on hand. I'm always looking to work around the standard mayo-based deviled eggs as some people are weird about mayo (not me - I eat that stuff with fries, middle school style).
Greek yogurt and avocado are what make this creamy delicious snack so you can pretty much consider this a health food, right?! The only disappointing thing is that, because of the avocado, they don't keep well. I had a few the next day and they still tasted fine, the color was just a bit less than appetizing. The good news though is that at any normal gathering you won't have any left. I made these for an impromptu baby shower planning turned Bachelorette viewing party and we quickly turned to that liquid wine diet as our eyes were glued to the train-wreck that was JoJo trying to pick between Malibu Ken and the Veggietales Asparagus. But I digress...
Ingredients
10 hard-boiled eggs (I always make one or two more than the 8/9 I need so I have a spare if I break one/a test-tasting one)
1 avocado
1 t. lemon juice
1/4 c. greek yogurt
1/4 c. sour cream
1/2 T. dijon mustard
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
1/4 c. finely shredded Italian cheese mix
1 or 2 small Jalapeno peppers
Paprika
Directions
Cut eggs in half length-wise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Place egg whites on serving dish.
Add cubed avocado, lemon juice, greek yogurt, sour cream and dijon mustard to mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash and combine. Once you've reached the desired creamy consistency, add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Stir in cheese.
Scoop mixture into quart size plastic bag. Cut small piece of the corner out to squeeze mixture into egg whites.
Cut top off of Jalapenos and scoop out inside membrane/seeds. Cut into small rings. Throw the rings into a bowl of ice water and whisk around to make sure all seeds are washed off. Remove Jalapeno rings to paper towel, pat dry and place on top of eggs. Sprinkle with Paprika.
