Description
These keto deviled eggs are a low-carb, high-fat snack perfect for a ketogenic diet. They feature a creamy, savory filling made with full-fat mayonnaise and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup full-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Paprika for garnish
- Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by about one inch.
- Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat, cover the pan, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- Carefully peel the cooled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop the yolks into a small bowl. Place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
- Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh chives, if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a tiny pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the yolk mixture.
- Ensure your mayonnaise is full-fat and does not contain added sugars to keep it keto-friendly.
- These deviled eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
