    greeneggsandhamYes, I do like them! However, I paired my deviled green eggs with turkey bacon in this photo. Three deviled eggs with three slices of bacon should fill you up and be a really delicious meal. The eggs are really easy to make.  If your cooking skills are exceptional and you are capable of burning water, then try this tip.  Place the eggs into a small saucepan and fill with water only until the eggs are covered.   Boil on high for about two minutes until the water bubbles. Lower to medium, and set a timer to 13 minutes.  When done, pour the water out into the sink, while the cold water is running to wash over the eggs. Keep the cold water running and leave the pot in the sink while you peel the eggs under the running water.

    Ingredients:

    • 6 hard boiled eggs
    • 1 ripe avocado
    • 4 tablespoons tartar sauce
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • ½ tablespoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    Directions:

    Slice the eggs in half, lengthwise.  Gently remove the yolks and place all except for two
    , in a small bowl.  Add in avocado and rest of ingredients. Mash with a fork or chop with a knife. Place large spoonfuls of mashed mixture into the egg white halves.  Refrigerate leftovers.

    Yields: 12 deviled eggs (3.2 grams protein, 69.5 calories each half).  Serving suggestion, 3 deviled eggs (9.6 grams protein, 208 calories) served with 3 slices turkey bacon (12 grams protein, 75 calories) brings your portion total to 15 grams protein, 283 calories.
