Keto Deviled Eggs
"A delish and healthy twist on a Southern classic, these keto deviled eggs are the perfect way to keep your body in fat-burning mode. Traditional deviled eggs are already a great option for a high-fat, keto-friendly snack. We’ve just ramped up the healthy fat content in this keto recipe by combining avocado with egg yolks to make the egg filling, and to help you meet your macros easier. (Not to mention that avocado and deviled eggs are a match made in flavor heaven.)"
NotesFor a homemade mayonnaise, separate the egg yolk from one egg and discard the egg white. Whisk the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a medium mixing bowl until evenly combined. Measure 3/4 cup avocado oil. Pour the oil into the egg yolk mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking constantly. Once the oil is completely blended in, add more and continue whisking until all the oil is in. The texture of the mixture should look like a mayo. Mix in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined. Once the mayonnaise is done, put in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to a week.
