No Yolk Hummus Filled Deviled Eggs

Submitted by grumblebee

"This is a delicious and lower fat/calorie alternative to traditional deviled eggs. Instead of filling the whites with yolks and mayo, these easy to prepare eggs are stuffed with hummus! Experiment with different flavoured hummus -- there are many commercial variaties available at most grocery stores, from garlic to roasted red pepper. Perfect as a quick, protein rich and healthful snack, or as a unique hors d'oeuvre. Kids love these too!"

directions

1. Remove eggs yolks from hard boiled eggs. (save them for a treat for your dog!).

Totally yummy! I love this idea and it tastes great! I mixed in just a couple out of 6 yolks and just a little teaspoon or so of veganaise - but just because I love the taste! You could really play around with this. Thanks!

We loved these. I filled them with Recipe #11424. Thanks for sharing this one.

Thanks for sharing this idea! I actually used the yolks, mashed and mixed in with the hummus. I used a Roasted Garlic Delight hummus with paprika, and it was fabulous!

We still used the yolks, only used 1/3 cup of hummus. Turned out great. We rarely have mayo in the house, because I am the only one that will eat it and that is occasionally. So This was a great alternative. Even my kids love it. They like it more than the eggs made with mayo. Next time we will try the straight hummus.

Used different flavors of hummus. I liked this recipe more than my husband. We both like hummus and I think that in order for this recipe to be appreciated you must care for that ingredient. Took to a picnic and it was not really liked.
