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! 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.
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!
