Fermented Jalapeño Deviled Eggs

I love boiled eggs. I love mayo, mustard, and a sprinkling of paprika. But when you put those ingredients together and add sweet relish?

No thanks.

Confession… I’ve never liked deviled eggs.

I think it’s the sweet relish. Blech.

Well, who says deviled eggs can only be made with relish?! Not me!

Fermented Jalapeño Deviled Eggs

I decided to change things up and use my Naturally Fermented Jalapeño Peppers in these deviled eggs. Besides adding a probiotic boost, these peppers (and their brine) give deviled eggs a flavor that is out of this world!

And the slight kick of spice in the back of your throat is just perfect.

Instead of sprinkling with paprika and a garnish of fresh dill, I chose chipotle powder with a garnish of cilantro.

I get easy-to-peel boiled eggs every time by using my Instant Pot. And I make homemade mayo with healthy ingredients in less time than it takes to run to the store.

This recipe is oh-so-nourishing! It combines pastured eggs with nourishing fat and a ferment to create an entirely new dish! I hope you’ll give this deviled egg makeover a try!
