Easy Keto Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs always remind me of Easter. Their yellow, springtime brightness is like a drop of sunshine on a plate. I also always thought of them as a hassle to make; something that you only did during the holidays. But I've changed my opinion. Since I switched to a keto diet, I now eat them all the time. They've become one of my favorite snacks.

If you're like me, you often make a bunch of boiled eggs and keep them in the fridge as an easy snack. If you don't, I encourage you to do so. Eggs are healthy, keto-friendly, and easy to both cook and eat. It also opens you up to more meal options, like deviled eggs. If you already have a batch of boiled eggs in your fridge, mixing them up to make deviled eggs doesn't take a lot of extra effort. And, in my opinion, it transforms them into something super delicious that is well worth the effort.

Nutrition

Technically, you could go super simple and only add mayo, salt and pepper to the egg yolks. However, I prefer to also add turmeric and sauerkraut to mine. Turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties, and sauerkraut for its natural probiotics.

Eating Sauerkraut When You Hate Sauerkraut

Full disclosure: I hate sauerkraut. And kimchi. And all of those other tangy items that are full of wonderfully healthy probiotics. So I have to sneak the in where I can. And this is one of the very few ways that I can sneak them in without tasting them too much. Deviled eggs and tuna salad - those are the only two ways I'll to eat sauerkraut. That being said, if you love sauerkraut and want to add more than a measly ½ teaspoon to your deviled eggs mixture, have at it!

Choosing a Mayo

I strongly recommend staying away from mayo that uses refined and chemically processed vegetable oils, such as soybean oil. These damaged oils can wreck havoc on your body. Instead, try to get a mayo with avocado oil as its base, such as the Avocado Oil Mayonnaise by Sir Kensington, Chosen Foods or Primal Kitchen. Whole Foods Market and other high-end stores almost always have these in stock, but sometimes you can find it at your regular grocery store. Be careful to read the ingredients list! There are many mayo options that state "with avocado oil" but if you look at the ingredients, the first ingredient is still soybean oil.

Tips & Tricks

• Switch up the ingredients! Don't like mustard? Don't put it in. Prefer sour cream to mayo? Go for it. Add in spices, siracha, chives, bacon or anything else you would put in an omelet. They're just eggs after all.
• Deviled Eggs will should only be kept in the fridge for a couple days, so don't make a huge batch that is more than you'll eat within a 2-day period.
• If you're throwing a party, you can make these Easy Keto Deviled Eggs the night before and keep them in the fridge (just don't set anything else on top of them). They're great served cold or at room temperature, either way.
• Boil the eggs ahead of time and keep them in the fridge. Then, just use a few of them to make these Easy Keto Deviled Eggs.
• To turn it into a meal, I've used the yolk mixture as a salad dressing (thinned out with a little olive oil) and chopped up the egg whites into the salad.
