Joy Bauer’s “Pretty in Pink” Deviled Eggs

These days, we’re all about making holidays a little *extra*. These “Pretty in Pink” Deviled Eggs from celebrity nutritionist and Today Show contributor Joy Bauer, RD, will certainly make your Easter table sparkle a little brighter. “You can’t go wrong with eggs—the whites provide satiating protein and the yolks deliver vitamin D, iron, choline and lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help protect your eyes,” says Joy. “Here, I’ve reimagined classic deviled eggs by swapping out the yolks and replacing them with heart-healthy guac or hummus.”

“Pretty in Pink” Deviled Eggs

INGREDIENTS:

3 large eggs, hardboiled and shell removed
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 can (16 ounces) pickled beets
½ tablespoon pink peppercorns
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons hummus
2 tablespoons guacamole
Optional garnishes: paprika, chopped chives, sriracha

PREPARATION:

Add eggs to large mason jar. In a small bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, pickled beets with liquid, peppercorns, and salt. Pour mixture into mason jar, making sure eggs are fully coated in liquid. Refrigerate overnight.
Remove eggs from mason jar. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and discard the yolks. Fill the empty center of egg halves with either 2 teaspoons of hummus or 2 teaspoons of guacamole. Sprinkle a dash of paprika, chopped chives, and/or a dash of sriracha on top of eggs.
