Curried Deviled Eggs

Food As Medicine:

Eggs are a nutritionally dense food, providing about 7 grams of protein each, as well as choline for brain development and omega-3’s for heart health. Eggs are also high in sulfur, which supports detoxification as well as cysteine and Vitamin D. Choose pasture raised eggs and always eat the yolk—this is where the nutrients are most concentrated! Deviled eggs are an easy party favorite or a quick snack packed with protein and healthy fats that will help to curb carb cravings!

Ingredients:

6 large eggs

1/4 cup Simple Olive Oil Mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon curry powder

½ teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

pinch Eden Sea Salt

pinch black pepper

fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by one inch. Bring to a boil, then gently lower in the eggs. Reduce heat to a medium boil and cook 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain the water. Place the eggs into a bowl of ice water and allow to cool completely before peeling.

Once cooled completely, slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolk with a small spoon. Place the whites on a plate and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, egg yolks, mustard and the dry seasonings. Mash the yolks until smooth and evenly distributed.

Scoop the filling into the hollows of the egg whites, then sprinkle with additional paprika and the chopped cilantro. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
