Deviled Eggs

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: Eggs
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Large eggs
1/2 cup 73g / 2.6ozFat-free cottage cheese
3 tablespoons 45mlLite mayonaisse
2 tablespoons 30mlSweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlDry mustard
  Paprika - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

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.

This recipe yields 12 servings. Serving size: 2 egg halves.
