How to Make Keto Deviled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 carrot (peeled)
- 2-3 stems broccoli rabe or broccolini
Directions:
- To Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes. After that, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down.
- For the Deviled Eggs: Once the eggs are cool, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add the mayo, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the yolks. Mix everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- For the Carrot Adornment (optional): Cut the peeled carrot into small, thin sticks. You can place a stick on top of each deviled egg as a garnish. Add the cooked broccoli rabe or broccolini around the eggs for extra color and nutrition.
