Deviled Eggs Recipe - Cooking Index
This old-fashioned picnic dish lost a lot of its fat and calories with the help of fat-free cottage cheese -- a perfect stand-in for both the fatty egg yolk and the mayonaisse.
Type: Eggs1 | Large eggs | |
1/2 cup | 73g / 2.6oz | Fat-free cottage cheese |
3 tablespoons | 45ml | Lite mayonaisse |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Sweet pickle relish |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Dry mustard |
Paprika - for garnish |
Place the eggs in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer (do not boil!) and cook 10 minutes (start the timer as soon as the water bubbles). Drain and set the pan under cold running water for 2 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. With a small spoon, carefully remove the yolks, reserving 6 yolks for another use.
In a blender, puree the cottage cheese until smooth; set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 6 egg yolks with the cottage cheese mixture, mayonaisse, relish, and mustard; spoon the mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. Arrange the eggs on a platter and sprinkle with paprika.
