🥚 High-Protein Loaded Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
12 large eggs, hard-boiled & peeled
½ cup mayonnaise (or ¼ cup mayo + ¼ cup Greek yogurt for extra protein)
1–2 tbsp mustard (yellow or Dijon)
2–3 tbsp sour cream (optional — sub with Greek yogurt for more protein)
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (use reduced-fat or high-protein cheddar)
2 green onions, finely sliced
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional protein boosts:
2–3 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp unflavored protein powder (won’t affect taste)
Extra chopped egg whites mixed into filling for clean protein
🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs
Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
Carefully remove yolks and place yolks in a mixing bowl.
Arrange egg white halves on a platter.
- Make the High-Protein Filling
Mash the yolks with a fork, then add:
Mayonnaise
Greek yogurt (if using)
Mustard
Sour cream or extra Greek yogurt
Salt & pepper
Mix until smooth and creamy.
High-protein tip:
Add 1 tbsp unflavored protein powder OR finely chop 2 extra egg whites and fold them in.
- Add the Loaded Toppings
Fold into the yolk mixture:
Crumbled bacon (save some for topping)
Shredded cheddar
Green onions
Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the filling into each egg white half.
Top with more bacon, cheddar, and green onions for a loaded finish.
- Chill & Serve
Refrigerate at least 20–30 minutes for best texture and flavor.
💪 How to Boost Protein Even More
Choose any of these:
✔ Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt
✔ Add 1 tbsp unflavored whey to filling
✔ Add extra chopped egg whites
✔ Use high-protein shredded cheese
✔ Add 2 tbsp cottage cheese blended smooth into the filling
With these additions, you can get 8–10g protein per deviled egg (2 halves) depending on the mix!
