How To Make The Best Keto Deviled Eggs
Step 1. Boil eggs
Place your eggs into a saucepan and cover with hot tap water, then put on the stove over high heat. Once you can see bubbles forming, set a timer for 14 minutes.
Step 2. Cool and peel eggs
Remove the eggs from the water and place them in a bowl of iced water or under running cold water to cool. When cooled, peel your eggs.
Step 3. Cut and separate
Cut each egg in half and scoop the yolks into a small bowl.
Step 4. Mix ingredients
Use a spoon to break up the yolks, then add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Mix to a smooth consistency and add salt and pepper.
Step 5. Pipe the yolk mix
Spoon the mixture into a disposable piping bag and pipe evenly between the egg white shells.
