The Best Loaded Deviled Eggs
These low carb Loaded Deviled Eggs taste as good as the look
I am branching out from my love of Mexican food and appetizers. This recipe was created with stuff I already had in the house. They were so easy to make and bonus, they look so good. If you like deviled eggs, bacon, and cheese, I have your new favorite snack/appetizer!
To make this recipe easy, I used package real bacon bits.
Freshly cooked and crisp bacon is amazing! It can take this recipe to a whole level. However, I need easy and I don’t think the fresh bacon was worth the extra effort (or the cost). Since these are small, I made sure to dice up the green onions and bacon into pretty small pieces. I also used a fine grater for the cheese, but you can use a regular cheese grater if that is what you have. It won’t affect the flavor!
A few tips that might help.
I used green onions and not chives. Green onions are cheap. To top the deviled eggs, I used the smallest parts of the green onions. To make filling the eggs easier, I filled a quart size baggie. Try not to keep as much of the filling in one corner. I used 1/4 cup of mayo but you can use non-fat Greek yogurt if you want to lighten up a little bit. These are the best deviled eggs I have ever ate.
