    Pesto Deviled Eggs

    These creamy Pesto Deviled Eggs are from my book Craveable Keto. In the book they are made with my Walnut Avocado Pesto Recipe, but you can make them with any homemade or store-bought pesto recipe you prefer.

    Ingredients in Pesto Deviled Eggs

    Ingredients Notes

    • Eggs: Eggs are obviously the star of the show in a deviled egg recipe. Below you will find my tips for how to cook the perfect hard boiled egg. You can also use a Dash egg cooker for quick and easy, perfect eggs every time. Try these Tuna Deviled Eggs
    • Mayonnaise: The mayo adds a nice creamy element to these Pesto Deviled Eggs. You could also use greek yogurt or even unsweetened coconut yogurt. It is also delicious made with this Roasted Garlic Mayo
    • Pesto: Any store-bought pesto will work for this recipe. I like to get use one that is extra garlicky. (Try my Classic Basil Pesto Recipe)
    • Sour Cream: This adds a bright acidity to these Pesto Deviled Eggs. You could also substitute greek yogurt, plain coconut yogurt, extra mayonnaise, or some of my Avocado Ranch Dressing.
    • Microgreens: The micro greens add a nice crunch and pack a nutritional punch. I grow my own using this kit.

    Step by Step Instructions

    STEP 1: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork.

    STEP 2: To the mixing bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, pesto, and sour cream. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

    STEP 3: Transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag. If using a resealable plastic bag, snip off a corner of the bag. Pipe the mixture into the egg whites.

    STEP 4: Top each deviled egg with some fresh micro greens, if desired.

    Recipe Tips and Variations

    • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    • Add avocado: These pesto deviled eggs are delicious with some mashed avocado added. Add ½ of a small avocado. It adds a silk richness.
    • Add meat: These are delicious with some crispy bacon, prosciutto, ham, or pancetta added.
    • Other add-in ideas: capers, red onion, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes,
    • Make egg salad: Chop up the hardboiled eggs, mix in all the other ingredients and make a delicious egg salad. Pile it on some of my Keto Everything Buns or make lettuce wraps.
    • Deviled egg tray: To keep the eggs from tipping over, I recommend using a deviled egg tray.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you make perfect hardboiled eggs?

    This is how I make perfect hard-boiled eggs: Place the eggs in a large saucepan with cold water. Add enough water so that the eggs are fully submerged. Over high heat, bring the water to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Submerge the eggs in a cold-water bath before peeling.
