Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon creamy almond butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons roasted pecans
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.
Once the eggs are done cooking, transfer them immediately to the ice bath to cool for 5-10 minutes. This makes them easier to peel.
Peel the eggs carefully, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a platter or serving dish.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, almond butter, and lemon juice. Mix until creamy and fully combined.
Finely chop the roasted pecans and stir them into the egg yolk mixture. Add salt, black pepper, and half of the smoked paprika, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill the hollow centers of the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining smoked paprika on top of the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately. Enjoy your Nutty Deviled Eggs!
