Eggs Carbs
Eggs are a fabulous keto diet food because they’re extremely low in carbohydrates and abundant in fat.
Are Eggs Vegetarian
Eggs are also a fantastic vegetarian source of healthy protein that’s affordable and easy to prepare.
Isn’t it funny that eggs and dairy products come from animals and are not vegetables, but are allowed on the vegetarian diet?
Does a Vegan Eat Eggs
Vegans, on the other hand, do not eat eggs or dairy. In fact, a vegan does not anything that comes from an animal, including honey.
I do have one fantastic Vegan Chocolate Cupcake recipe in Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry
Vegan Eggs Recipe
If you’re on an egg free diet and looking for a vegan eggs recipe, I need to warn you, egg substitutes don’t work in my baked goods.
Eggs Gluten Free
Since we’re on the subject of special diets, we have to talk about my favorite –the gluten free diet. I was diagnosed with celiac disease, in the 1990s, during the dark ages of gluten free.
For me, avoiding gluten is essential, and eggs are one of my favorite gluten free foods because they’re so versatile.
Recipes with Eggs
I have an abundance of recipes with eggs, and they make my baked goods shine!
Here are some of my favorite recipes with eggs for you.
How to Hard Boil an Egg
Knowing how to hard boil an egg is a basic kitchen skill that’s incredibly useful, and it’s one of the first kitchen techniques I taught my boys.
After boiling endless batches of eggs, I’ve created my own secret method for hard boiled egg perfection that works every time.
Easy to Peel Hard Boiled Eggs
For me, knowing how to boil the perfect egg was one thing, pealing them was another.
It’s a bummer when pealing eggs gets tricky, but I’ve solved that too.
Secret tip, letting the eggs cool is far superior to an ice bath. For all the tricks I have up my sleeve, read more here.
Deviled Eggs Avocado
My Guacamole Deviled Eggs are a mouth-watering low carb fiesta without the chips. The avocado filling is blended with fresh cilantro, chives, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.
These deviled eggs have no mayo, instead getting their creamy texture from avocados, which are full of wonderfully tasty and healthy fat.
Recipe for Huevos Rancheros
While it will taste like you’ve labored in the kitchen all morning, my Huevos Rancheros recipe is a healthy breakfast that’s easy to prepare.
All you need to do to make this fan favorite recipe is pour cheddar cheese, eggs, and salsa over sauteed onions, then place in the oven and bake in a cast iron skillet until set.
Breakfast Ideas That Are Easy
Eggs for breakfast? I’m in! My Green Eggs take the health factor up a notch by adding superfood kale to the traditional scramble.
I loved making this quick and easy breakfast for the boys on school days when they were growing up.
The Health Benefits of Eggs
Eggs are my jam because they’re a complete protein that’s nutrient-dense and easy to make.
Whether you’re whipping up a scramble or making the Best Deviled Eggs you’re in for a healthy and satisfying savory treat!

Why do you use veganaise instead of mayonnaise if you’re making devilled eggs?
Elena says
I think the reason she doesn’t use regular mayonnaise is to avoid soybean oil.
Beth says
I’ve always wanted to make Deviled Eggs, but never got around to looking up a recipe.
What better time than the present? :)
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
I love deviled eggs and those looks delish :)
Genevieve says
LOVE the deviled eggs. Pretty picture.
Wendy says
Question: why mayo-less eggs? Isn’t that kind of an oxymoron?
(My asking wasn’t meant to be snarky. I really am curious.)
elana says
Wendy,
Great question with no special answer. I love the vegenaise product and it’s what I keep in my fridge to use for when I don’t make my own mayo from scratch.

mmmmmmm- one of my favorite snacks. and a great time to post them! we have an abundance of farm-fresh eggs starting to creep up in my fridge.
What brand of gluten-free mustard do you use? i’ve had horrible reactions to many mustards, and haven’t found one i like.
and a great end of pregnancy snack food- i’m at 9 months now and these sound AMAZING!!!
Emma Davis Ganger says
She linked to the mustard. Just click! =)
Brandon says
Wow, we must be on the same brain wave. I was just thinking about making deviled eggs yesterday evening. Great picture, by the way!
Terris says
These look beautiful Elana. My kids love deviled eggs as an after school snack too. Sometimes we add minced baby gherkins and minced red bell pepper, or top with sliced olives. Now that spring is here, our hens are keeping us flush with eggs so this recipe will put some to good use.
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says
Those look divine! (Accidental pun.) :)
