    Deviled Eggs are a popular appetizer that can be served for Mother's Day brunch, potlucks, or barbecues. They also make a great portable Keto/Low-Carb snack. To make "Healthy" Keto Deviled Eggs, we'll swap the mayo for Tahini and sesame oil, giving the eggs a Mediterranean flair!

    Easter was a few weeks ago and as usual, I had way too many boiled eggs left over. Scott doesn't enjoy eating deviled eggs, so either I eat them or divide them between Holly and Winston (my little Terriers).

    While considering how to make a Healthy Deviled Eggs recipe with the leftover boiled eggs, I got the idea to use the usual ingredients that are found in Hummus and Tahini Sauce. This included Tahini Paste, lemon juice, fresh garlic, and sesame oil. Not that I'm trying to toot my own horn, but they came out better than I had imagined!

    🧐 Why This Recipe Works

    This is an easy, beginner recipe that anyone can tackle. It's a great way to either use already boiled eggs, for example, Easter eggs, or to use up eggs before they expire.

    You can make these Keto Deviled Eggs look fancy, by piping the yolk filling with something like a star-shaped tip, or if you're not trying to impress anyone, you can use a cookie scoop instead.

    Do you like Spicy Deviled Eggs? Sprinkle the Deviled Eggs with cayenne pepper instead of paprika. Another Idea is to garnish the Deviled Eggs with freshly sliced jalapeño peppers.

    🛒 What You Need to Make Keto Deviled Eggs

    🔖 Recipe Ingredient Notes

    • Eggs — You can either use freshly boiled, cooled eggs, or do what I did and use up leftover Easter Eggs as long as they're not too old.
    • Tahini — Tahini paste can be purchased in most grocery stores. However, it can also be made quite easily using toasted sesame seeds. Tahini can also be purchased on Amazon.
    • Sesame Oil — Sesame oil reinforces the sesame flavor from the Tahini and is super delicious!
    • Lemon Juice — Although bottled lemon juice is acceptable to use, freshly squeezed lemon juice is always better!

    🥚How to Make Healthy Keto Deviled Eggs

    Begin by boiling the eggs using your favorite method, or follow the instructions below:

    Step 1: Add eggs to a pot, cover with cold water, and bring the water to a boil. Boil the eggs for one minute then turn off the heat. Cover the pot and set a timer for 12 minutes. When the time is up, remove eggs, run under cold water, and peel.

    Step 2: Slice boiled eggs in half and carefully scoop out the yolks. Add yolks to a food processor, along with the remaining ingredients.

    Step 3: Pulse the mixture, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add one to two tablespoons of water to make the mixture smooth and creamy.

    Step 4: Spoon the egg yolk mixture back into the eggs, or pipe through a piping bag with a star attachment for a prettier presentation.

    Step 5: Finally, garnish the deviled eggs with dill, chives, or capers.

    🤷🏻‍♀️ Recipe FAQs

    Are deviled eggs healthy for a diet?

    This is a tricky question to answer because it really depends on the deviled eggs recipe. Hard-boiled eggs can be healthy. However, if the egg yolks are mixed with unhealthy fats like mayonnaise, the answer is no. Although, they're still great in moderation and a perfect snack while on a low-carb or Keto diet.

    What makes my Healthy Deviled Eggs better is that instead of using processed ingredients, I use whole ingredients like sesame oil and tahini paste (which is made with ground sesame seeds mixed.

    How many calories are in 2 deviled eggs?

    The calories in deviled eggs vary based on the recipe used. However, a typical classic deviled egg recipe contains around 125 calories per two deviled eggs.

    Can you make deviled eggs a day in advance?

    Deviled eggs can be made a day or even two in advance. Just fill the egg yolks with the creamy yolk filling and cover with Saran Wrap then place in the refrigerator. The eggs can then be garnished and sprinkled with either paprika or cayenne pepper before serving.

    Can you boil eggs a day ahead for deviled eggs?

    Eggs can be boiled a day or more before being used to prepare deviled eggs. This is why many people use leftover Easter eggs to make Deviled Eggs. Obviously, the fresher the eggs are the better they will taste.

    👩🏼‍🍳 Pro Tips

    • Do not garnish the eggs until you are ready to serve them. The fresh herbs tend to wilt pretty quickly and pickled ingredients like capers can stain the egg yolk, and the vinegar that they are brined in can run.
    • I like to leave some of the eggs ungarnished for pickier eaters, and children.
    • Pickled Nasturtium Seeds can be used in place of capers.
    • Cooked diced bacon is another great garnish option.
    • Leftover deviled eggs can be used to make Keto Egg Salad.
    • If you don't have a food processor, add the egg yolks and other filling ingredients into a bowl and mash with a potato masher or a fork.

      I love deviled eggs and these are no exception! I was surprised that I didn’t miss the mayo or mustard. These were really delicious. I love that you made them healthier.
