This recipe is great to bring to potlucks and gatherings, but its just as delicious for a healthy snack around the house. Full of protein and healthy fats, it’s a filling choice.
Hard boil the eggs using one of the two follwoing methods.
Hard Boiling Eggs: Stovetop Method
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. (You don’t want a hard rolling boil with lots of bubbles or the eggs will crack.)
Lower the eggs into the water using tongs or a slotted spoon.
Gently simmer for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water until completely cool.
Hard Boiling Eggs: Instant Pot Method
Pour 1 cup of water and a trivet into the bowl of the Instant Pot.
Place the eggs on the trive.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to seal.
Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes followed by a 5 minute natrual pressure release.
Release the remaining pressure and place the eggs in a bowl of ice water until completely cool.
Making the Deviled Eggs
Crack the eggs all over and then peel the shell off while they’re under the water.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the yellow yolks, and place them in a bowl.
Arrange the egg white halves on a platter.
Add the rest of the ingredients, except paprika, to the egg yolks in the bowl and mash everything with a fork until smooth.
Spoon the egg yolk mixture into the center of the egg whites. To make it a little neater and fancier, the filling can be piped in instead. To pipe the filling in, spoon the filling into the corner of a plastic bag. Cut the corner off and squeeze the filling out into the egg halves.
Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
