Best Deviled Egg Recipe

Typically, deviled eggs are made with hard boiled eggs, dijon mustard and mayo.

What will make this deviled egg recipe healthier and prettier, is beet hummus. 

I devised this recipe from the abundant harvest of homegrown earthy beets I had one year. 

The nutrients of this deviled egg recipe are off the charts!

I have had great success growing beets in a small area. 

Making deviled eggs with nutrient rich beets, tahini and Greek yogurt makes for a healthier, prettier deviled egg. 

How To Make Mediterranean Beet Deviled Eggs

This easy recipe can be made in under 30-minutes.

We simply need a cooked peeled beet, a few boiled eggs my secret ingredient, from my Mediterranean hummus. 

Once the beet hummus is made and piped into the center of each egg, beautiful and healthy deviled eggs are ready to serve.

Course: Eggs
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Equipment

  • 2 Saucepans
  • Food processor or blender
  • Piping bag with tip

Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 cup Beets cooked
  • 1 tbsp Tahini
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or soft goat cheese
  • 2 Garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Fresh herbs, thyme or fresh dill, or black sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • For perfect hard-boiled eggs, place eggs in a medium saucepan, on medium heat and boil for 6 minutes. Remove the boiled eggs and place in a bowl of ice cold water, until cool. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and cut the long side of each egg. Pop out the yolks, reserving only 3 for the beet mixture, and place into a small bowl. Set the egg white halves onto a small sheet pan for preparation. 
  • For the best results in preparing the beet(s), wrap in 2 paper towels, microwave on medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or until a knife enters the beet easily. Cool. Peel the cooked beet and transfer to a food processor or bowl of a stand mixer and mix until smooth.
  • Adding to the beet mixture, 3 of the cooked egg yolks, tahini, yogurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt and olive oil. Puree until the mixture is creamy. 
  • Transfer the beet mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, for piping, and pipe the mixture into the center of the cooked egg whites. 
  • Place on a serving platter and garnish with either a sprig of thyme, fresh dill, black sesame seeds or black pepper.
