Description
Made with healthy, homemade mayonnaise, these deviled eggs are big on flavor but not on trans fats. Even better, not only are these eggs delicious, but they’re also super easy to make.
Ingredients
DEVILED EGGS
- 12 pasture-raised eggs
- 6 strips Certified Humane bacon, cooked and chopped*
- 4 Tablespoons Homemade MCT Mayo* (recipe follows)
- 2 Tablespoon bacon grease*
- 2 Tablespoon Dijon mustard*
- Fresh cracked pepper
- Sprinkle fresh chives (optional garnish)
HOMEMADE MCT MAYO
- 2 large pasture-raised egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup MCT oil
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
Instructions
HARD-BOILED EGGS (Instant Pot)
Stovetop instructions listed above
- Place trivet inside the pressure cooker.
- Pour in 1 cup of cold water.
- Place eggs on the trivet, seal the lid, and close the valve.
- Set the Instant Pot for “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” and set it to low pressure (be sure to keep the “Warm” setting off).
- Set time for 12 minutes and press start.
- Once finished, use the quick-release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Transfer the eggs directly into an ice bath and peel as soon as you can handle them.
HOMEMADE MCT MAYO
- Place ingredients in a wide-mouth mason jar.
- Place immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and turn on.
- Once mayo begins to form at the bottom of the jar, slowly move the blender towards the top. Be patient. Moving the blender slowly is the key to emulsifying the mayo. It should take you about a minute to reach the top.
- Store in an airtight container (saves 5-7 days).
DEVILED EGGS
- Once the eggs have been boiled and peeled, gently slice each lengthwise in half.
- Carefully scoop out the yolks into a large bowl. Setting the egg whites aside.
- Add chopped bacon (setting some aside for garnish), grease, mayo, and mustard to the bowl.
- Mash ingredients together with a fork or spatula until well-combined.
- Add fresh cracked pepper to taste.
- Scoop the mix back into the egg whites using two small spoons.
- Garnish with remaining bacon and chives.
- Serve ’em up!*
Notes
First off, avoid bacon bits (they’re garbage)! The higher-quality your bacon, the tastier your eggs. Second, if you opt to leave the bacon out, you’ll likely need to add a dash of Himalayan sea salt in its place.
Option to use store-bought mayonnaise instead. I’d recommend using Chosen Foods MCT mayo.
Option to swap MCT mayo for bacon grease.
Dijon adds dimension and texture to the eggs. I’d recommend using the brands Grey Poupon or Maille.
Deviled eggs DO NOT save well! If you’re determined to make them ahead of time, prepare the mix first and fill the eggs at the last minute.
