Green Goddess Deviled Eggs

5 from 1 vote

Fresh and herbal, these are a fun take on the classic deviled egg. These can be made lighter with some cottage cheese or full fat with mayonnaise in the classic preparation. Use pre-cooked hardboiled eggs for a no-cook and faster prep.

Ingredients

12 large eggs
6 tablespoons 4% fat cottage cheese or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise for high fat and dairy-free
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream, or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise for dairy-free
2 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons tarragon
2 tablespoons chives
1 clove garlic clove peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 lemon
zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Place the eggs in medium saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water, and bring to boil over high heat. Remove pan from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Fill a medium bowl half full with cold water and add 1 tray of ice cubes. Transfer eggs to ice water bath and let sit 5 minutes.
Peel eggs and then slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks with a spoon, and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Set the whites aside.
Blend the cottage cheese, yogurt, basil, parsley, tarragon, chives, garlic, lemon juice, zest, and salt until smooth in a food processor. Add the yolks and blend until smooth again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use a plastic sandwich bag with the tip of one corner snipped off.
Trim a sliver off the bottoms of the cooked egg whites before you fill them to keep them from rolling.
Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites and serve with fresh herbs as a garnish, if desired.
