About Deviled Eggs Made with Hummus
With only two basic ingredients, you'll have a tasty and satisfying snack or appetizer in no time.
Even though eggs and hummus sound like a funny combo, they go together quite well.
The hummus takes the place of mayo, so you don't need mayo for these easy deviled eggs.
And if you think you don't like deviled eggs, these are a great version to try! (Also, highly recommend these avocado deviled eggs)
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity and that you can change the flavor of the eggs based on the type of hummus you use.
While a basic hummus will be just fine, a flavored hummus is preferred since the eggs have little flavor.
You can always liven these up a little more by using spices and/or herbs in the mixture or on top.
Ingredients
Eggs: Large eggs are the type of eggs to use in this recipe. Other sizes will work, but you might need to adjust the amount of hummus you use to make sure the mixture is smooth. For extra-large eggs, add a tablespoon of hummus with the original ½ cup called for in the recipe. For medium eggs, start with ⅓ cup of hummus and add more as needed.
Hummus: Any flavor of hummus works for these deviled eggs. If you use flavored hummus, you will likely not need additional seasoning because they will be flavorful enough. But if you are using plain hummus, you might want to add extra seasoning.
Seasoning: There are many options for adding seasoning to your hummus deviled eggs, but it's completely unnecessary if you are using a more flavorful hummus. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, fresh chopped herbs, or chopped green onion.
