Here’s a great idea to use up all your hard boiled eggs from Easter. Make deviled eggs using no mayo! (We were out of Vegenaise so I worked with what we had — a ripe avocado!) Another favorite of ours is to add some hard boiled eggs to our Healing Chicken Salad.
No Mayo Deviled Eggs
6 hard boiled eggs
1 ripe avocado
3 Tbsp organic sour cream
1 dash Bragg’s liquid aminos
1 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
sea salt to taste
ground white pepper to taste
1 green onion, minced
1. Peel and rinse the eggs under cold water. Halve the eggs lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a bowl.
2. Halve and scoop out the avocado, dice it. Add the avocado and sour cream to the egg yolks and mash into a smooth, creamy mixture. Stir in the liquid aminos, dill, sea salt, and white pepper until the mixture is very well blended; spoon into the egg white halves and garnish with green onion.
Sounds delicious, I’ll have to try it!
Do you ever have problems getting rid of the peel without ruining the egg? With organic eggs this seems to be more of an issue and a lot of patients have mentioned the same thing. Thanks in advance!
Hi Kristin! It can be an issue, yes, because of the increased nutrient density of the free range eggs. A trick is making sure the eggs are completely chilled before peeling. I try to remember to boil the eggs the night before and put them in the fridge over night. That way they are super chilled the next day. The colder the white membrane layer (the “skin” beneath the peel) the easier it will peel away from the egg.
Water is also a great trick. You can take your chilled eggs, roll them and tap them on the counter top to break up the shell all around, then run it under a quick blast of cold water. The water will seep inside of the cracks and help that white membrane loosen from the egg a little easier as you then peel away the broken shell.
