Dairy Free Deviled Eggs

Dairy Free Deviled Eggs are a classic appetizer or side dish made from hard-boiled eggs that have been sliced in half and filled with a creamy mixture made from egg yolks, avocado mayonnaise, and spices. They are great for servings at holidays, brunches, or just for some extra protein during the week! This recipe is Whole30-friendly, too.

As a health coach I always encourage clients to have easy, delicious proteins on hand and eggs are one of the easiest proteins. They are great for frittatas, egg bites, and even salads.

Ingredients You'll Need

Eggs: provide high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12 and riboflavin, as well as crucial minerals like selenium and phosphorus, promoting muscle strength, and brain health, and aiding in energy production.

Avocado Mayo: The only avocado mayo I like is Chosen Foods, but use your favorite brand!

White Wine Vinegar: is a tangy and acidic liquid made from fermented white wine, commonly used in cooking and salad dressings to add a subtle fruity flavor.

Mustard: Dijon mustard is known for its bold, tangy flavor. It gives a nice punch in this recipe! I really like Noble Made's Dijon mustard because it has no sugar or additives in it.

Pickles: Don't skimp on the pickles in this recipe. Grillo's pickles are a brand that I like and that is Whole30 Approved, but you can use any dill pickles you like, just be sure to check the label for sugars.

Garlic powder: is known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It helps fight many diseases like the common cold, heart disease, and others.

Paprika: Rich in antioxidants, particularly capsaicin, which has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. It is also rich in beta-carotene, which can support eye health and boost the immune system.

Salt and pepper

Instructions

Cook the eggs: Add the eggs to the Instant Pot on the trivet with 1 cup of water. Pressure cook for 5 minutes. Then let the Instant Pot naturally release for 5 minutes. Immediately when they are done, add them to ice water to cool.

Make the filling: When the eggs are cooled, slice them in half and remove the yolk. Add the yolk to a food processor along with yellow mustard, dijon mustard, avocado mayo, white wine vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth. Then add the pickles and mix with a spoon.

Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites that you removed the yolk from. For easy piping, I add the mixture to a zip lock bag and cut a small corner off of the bag.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

Peeling Eggs: Do not peel them before they are completely cooled or it will be much more difficult to cleanly peel.

Boiling method: No Instant Pot? No problem! You can cook the eggs in boiling water for 12 minutes then transfer to ice water.

Extras: For extra toppings, add bacon, chives, everything bagel seasoning.

Recipe Variations

Mayo-free: If mayo is not your jam, there are lots of other options to make these deviled eggs with no mayo. You can use an avocado, hummus (not Whole30), or even dairy-free yogurt to make the filling.

Storage Tips

You can store these dairy-free Deviled Eggs in an air-tight container for 3 days but are best within 1-2 days.
