Hello again everyone! Today I want to discuss an American
favorite..... Deviled eggs. Deviled eggs aren't necessarily healthy or
unhealthy, and if you have high cholesterol you might consider taking it easy
on eggs all together. Really the yolk and the mayo is the unhealthy part of the
deviled egg, and as you'll see in my recipe today, I've taken measures to
eliminate some of the unhealthiness. But first a little back ground on deviled
eggs. The deviled egg originated in ancient Rome and is just as popular across
Europe as it is in America. In France
it's called "ceuf mimosa", in Hungary "toltott tojas" or
"kaszino tojas" in Romania "oua umplute", and in the
Netherlands "gevuld ei". The term "deviled" dates back to
the 18th century, and refers to the use of particularly piquant (pleasantly
pungent or tart in taste, for example; mustard) spices, with the first known
print reference found in 1786. Now that you know a little history on the
subject, let us get on with recipe.
Deviled Eggs
Ingredients:
10 hard boiled eggs, cooled and deshelledGarlic powder
Onion powder
Parsley
Paprika
Heavy Cream
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Ok,
before continuing with our directions please take notice that there are no
exact measurements here. This is about your tastes and you can add an extra
sprinkle of spice as you see fit. After hard boiled eggs have cooled and shells
removed, cut in half lengthwise and remove yolks to a small mixing bowl. Place
egg whites on serving tray. In mixing bowl mix yolks with your choice amounts of
spices, adding small amounts at a time so as to not over do it. Once the spices
are incorporated, mix heavy cream, adding only one tablespoon at a time until
you get the consistency that you like. Using a spoon fill each egg half, then
sprinkle with small amount of paprika and parsley. Voila, there you have it, a
healthy alternative to the use of mayo. Enjoy.
Looks good Travis!
