Deviled Eggs
Is your name Debbie and do you like eggs? Debbie from “The Amanda Show” is a whole mood because I LOVE eggs. Regardless of how they are cooked, they are a staple in my diet.
Along with this article, I too think that eggs are basically the perfect food. They are full of protein, healthy fats, various vitamins, antioxidants, and have been said to reduce the risk of heart disease.
With that being said, I also love me some deviled eggs. However, I wasn’t always a fan of one of the other ingredients used to make deviled eggs.
The base for this recipe uses mayonnaise and mustard, and most mayonnaise producing companies use soybean oil as the base of their mayonnaise. Check out this article that describes the negative effects of poor quality oils (specifically soybean oil) that, to me, outweigh any benefits. According to that article, poor quality oils are very common in U.S. products and majority of soybeans are genetically modified in the U.S.
Everything is completely fine to be consumed in moderation, however I am always on the hunt for better quality products with the best ingredients (and because I could totally eat deviled eggs all the time).
Primal Kitchen is my go-to brand for high quality ingredient condiments. In particular, their real mayonnaise uses avocado oil as the base, as well as organic, cage-free eggs and egg yolks, full of healthy fats. Please note I do receive compensation if you take any action through my links.
The company prides itself by providing real, high quality ingredient products without any gluten, dairy, grain, refined sugar or soy. Primal Kitchen’s about page truly gives some insight on their mission to promote eating like your life depends on it, because it does!
Since discovering the brand, finding healthier and better quality products has never been easier. Definitely be sure to check them out!
Speaking of high quality products, I also used my DASH Egg Cooker to “boil” my eggs for this recipe. I absolutely LOVE this egg cooker! You can cook boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and omelets with this egg cooker. You can boil your eggs to your preferred yolk texture so easily and it has an auto shut-off feature that ensures you won’t overcook your eggs.
For this recipe, I boil the eggs using the directions for a hard boiled egg, which cooks for 15-16 minutes. As easy as this product is to use, the aspect that truly sold me was the egg shells coming off so smoothly after boiling! When I say smooth, I mean SMOOTH. I don’t think I will ever boil eggs the conventional way anymore.
Now that you know all of my secrets to make this recipe in the best way possible, try it out and let me know what you think in the comments. As always, enjoy! 🙂
