Hello, Seafoodies!
We’re ready to celebrate spring and all that goes with it, including Easter. Bring on the warmer weather, longer days, spring blooms and, most definitely, eggs! We’re revisiting one of our fan fave recipes that’s a satisfaction-guaranteed dish for any spring or Easter brunch: Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs. They look almost too gorgeous to eat, but don’t let that stop you!
No matter what the occasion, you just can’t go wrong with deviled eggs. This simple app always comes together quickly and disappears even faster! What takes this dish to the next level is the savory smoked salmon. Garnished with fresh herbs, these eggs look like fine art on a plate! And, you can easily tailor the recipe for a couple or a crowd.
As much as we love traditional deviled eggs, our twist on deviled eggs ups the nutrient and flavor profiles. We’ve swapped in some low-fat Greek yogurt, for full-fat mayonnaise, which helps cut calories without sacrificing creaminess. The tangy yogurt and fresh lemon juice brighten the flavor of this dish, and smoked salmon boosts the protein factor, making these eggs a healthier snack than meets the eye (or taste buds). Whether you make them for a light bite or a holiday spread, you definitely need to give them a try!
