Mayo-Free Pickled Red Beet Deviled Eggs

I loved deviled eggs. In fact, during summer picnics they are my biggest downfall. So, I decided to put a healthier spin on them (mayo free!) and to try them out at my oldest’s birthday party this weekend. They were a hit!

They were fairly simple….here’s my take.

Ingredients:

• 12 pickled eggs (do them yourself or buy them!)
• 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 TBS finely chopped pickled red beets (I buy mine in a jar…).

Directions:

Cut the eggs in half.

Spoon the yolks along with the cheese, mustard, and salt into a dish.

Using a fork, mash the mixture until it’s smooth. If you’re having trouble with the consistency, add more ricotta.

Stir in the chopped beets.

Spoon the mixture into a plastic bag with a corner cut out…squeeze a good amount into each egg.

Simple as can be. Enjoy!
