What a great way to reach your fitness goals with our friend and complete protein,
the egg! Now, I have to be honest - I have never had a deviled egg in my life! Jim on the other hand... loves them almost as much as he loves me! I was super excited to try this recipe for angeled eggs when I saw that it was clean and a great alternative to their higher fat, higher cholesterol evil cousin, the deviled egg. I have visions of Jim taking these for lunch around the office when he is actually home and eating them for snacks!
Ingredients:
6 eggs, hard boiled
6-oz can
tuna
4 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh chopped dill
Paprika, to garnish
Directions:
1. Slice eggs into halves lengthwise. Scoop out yokes and set aside.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, finely mash 2 egg yolks with a fork. Discard remaining yolks.
3. In another bowl, finely mash tuna with a fork.
4. Combine tuna and egg yolks into one bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
5. Spoon mixture into hollowed-out egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve immedietly or chill to allow flavors to meld.

There is one caveat... my Father-in-Law, who is not used to eating anywhere near remotely clean, decided to try one and I don't think that they were what he was expecting. There is definitely a different taste than that of a deviled egg! Worried? Try making a small batch before you plan to serve them just to make sure the family is up for it!

This sounds really good, except for the tuna. Would you describe it as having a fishy taste?
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I don't know if I would say fishy. You could also try some grilled tilapia or cod if you wanted to stay away from the tuna! Be sure to calculate your macros if you do this.
DeleteNo tuna, please! And please send Staples to the office with some. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, did you try it? I hope you liked it!
Deletesounds so good! i love eggs in my tuna so this would be tuna in my eggs lol
ReplyDeleteCandace, tuna is great with eggs! This is a really easy recipe that you can use to have multiples on hand!
Deletecould you substitute chicken?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! It will change your macros a bit, so be sure to recalculate if you are counting calories, proteins and fats. Please let us know what you think after you try it!
DeleteOMG this would be amazing for my husband and son who LOVE LOVE LOVE the other eggs. Must give it a try to move slowly into more clean eating. I just think it is fun to sneak them good food that tastes good then spring it on them that it is also very good for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope they enjoy them! They are not the same taste as deviled eggs, but if you have tuna fans in the house, they will surely like them!
DeleteTried these this weekend (minus the tuna)! I loved them!!! One of my new favorites:)
ReplyDeleteThat's great!! So glad you enjoyed them!
DeleteJust tried these! Very yummy! But next time I think I will cut down on the dijon mustard :)
ReplyDeleteMrs Andrado - That's great! I LOVE mustard, so I didn't find it too much, but I am glad you like them!
DeleteWhat would you suggest as an alternative to the dijon for a mustard HATER?
ReplyDeleteDo you dislike all mustards?
DeleteServing size?
ReplyDeleteCandy, this depends on which meal you are on and what your calories are for the day. Each person's serving will be different. They are very high in protein and low in fat/carbs, so you can eat quite a few of them!
DeleteMade these tonight, absolutely yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Melissa! We are glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteI was out of yogurt so I used low fat cottage cheese instead- they turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good Courtney. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteIs it sweet paprika or smoked paprika ??
ReplyDeleteThat's a great question! I typically use smoked paprika, but I think you could use whichever!
Deletelove your site,, thanks for all the yummy recipes, will try the eggs
