This Easter celebration has seen many changes. It is more than swapping decorating marshmallows for dyed eggs as this year’s must do craft. Another Easter tradition can be served without even cracking a single egg. Ready for egg-less Deviled Eggs?
Egg substitutes are a big business. From plant-based alternatives to other swaps, people want to have a taste of the familiar when the original option is not available.
Deviled Eggs are a staple at Easter. It might be a convenient way to repurpose all those dyed eggs. Additionally, the recipe has become a favorite at brunch.
Over the years, the recipes have taken all types of forms. From dessert to bacon topped to spicy, cooks have transformed that simple, incredible egg in impressive ways.
This year, eggs might not be on everyone’s shopping list. At the same time, people want those familiar, traditional food items. Luckily, there is an egg-less Deviled Eggs recipe that will make everyone happy.
Hellmann’s Chef, Suzanne Barr suggests substituting Hellmann's Mayonnaise in some recipes that require eggs. As Chef Suzanne explained, “Basically, mayo is made from eggs and oil and can be used as a substitute for baking and binding in some recipes. It also adds moisture and creaminess depending on the recipe.” Anyone who has used mayonnaise in a chocolate cake recipe understands this concept.
An egg-less Deviled Egg uses baby potatoes as the base. Chef Suzanne explains, “One of my favorite trends this season is the No-egg Deviled Eggs recipe made with baby potatoes and filled with a mayo/potato mixture that resembles a creamy deviled egg mixture. This recipe feels easy and realistic for the average consumer to recreate at home.”
This idea is about the texture. Granted, it is not an exact swap, but it mimics the concept of a Deviled Egg. Plus, this concept can adapt to a variety of flavors, too. From a touch of spiciness to some added bacon, there are plenty of ways to play with the food concept.
This year, no one has to feel deprived. An egg-less Deviled Egg is possible and it could be the hit of the Easter meal.
