Smoky Keto Deviled Eggs

Instructions

1. Hard Boil the Eggs:

• Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes.
• After the time is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) to cool for at least 5 minutes. This helps make peeling easier.

1. Prepare the Filling:

• Once the eggs are cool, carefully peel them under running water to remove any stubborn shells.
• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, placing the whites on a serving platter.
• Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy. You can use a fork or a hand mixer for this step.

1. Fill the Egg Whites:

• Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a fancier presentation, you can use a piping bag with a star tip.

1. Garnish:

• Sprinkle the filled deviled eggs with additional smoked paprika and garnish with chopped chives or parsley. For an extra treat, you can also add crumbled bacon or a piece of cooked shrimp on top.

1. Serve:

• Enjoy your Smoky Keto Deviled Eggs right away, or refrigerate them for up to two days before serving.
