A little bit twisted – green deviled eggs
Up your nutrition game with these BTA (Bacon, Tomato, Avocado) deviled eggs.
These Paleo gems are about to rock your Holiday!
I don’t know about you, but deviled eggs are a requirement for Easter at our house. These babies are so good they are at home in any holiday dinner! I love eggs prepared almost anyway – but there is something extra special about deviled eggs. They’re fancy!
My grandmother’s original recipe is delicious; so much so, my mom usually makes them every year for Easter. No matter how many she makes, there are never enough of them. This year I wanted to make my own version of deviled eggs – one that’s been nutritionally optimized. These green deviled Easter eggs are easy, tasty and full of healthy fat. What more could you want?
In this recipe Avocado serves as a substitute for the traditional mayo, this provides a rich flavor and gives the eggs a gorgeous light green color. There is also a little bit of maple syrup and a hint of smoked paprika added to give these babies a smokey sweet note that pairs magically with the crumbled bacon. Top the whole thing off with some finely diced tomatoes and chives and it really is a party in your mouth!
Topped with crispy bacon and fresh tomatoes.
I hope you enjoy these. If you do, don’t be shy, share the recipe with friends!
