Skinny Deviled Eggs are a lighter take on a classic appetizer. They stay creamy and flavorful while cutting calories and fat by swapping most of the mayonnaise for cottage cheese, which also boosts protein. These deviled eggs are lower in calories and still satisfy that rich, creamy bite.
When you want a low-carb, high-protein snack, these Skinny Deviled Eggs are hard to beat. Cottage cheese makes a great substitute for traditional mayonnaise—providing smooth texture without the extra fat and calories. This recipe uses only a small amount of light mayonnaise to maintain creaminess and flavor.
Tips for making Skinny Deviled Eggs:
- Use eggs that are at least one week old—older eggs peel much more easily after boiling. Run cold water over them immediately after cooking to cool and help with peeling.
- Cottage cheese is naturally lumpy. For a truly smooth filling, blend the cottage cheese and yolks in a food processor until creamy.
- A small splash of apple cider vinegar brightens the flavor and balances the richness.
One serving (two egg halves) contains approximately 93 calories.
