To some… Eggs look about as devilish as this guy…
All fantasies of Uncle Jessie… Just fizzled.
But really, they are probably one of the healthiest foods on the planet; SUCK ON THAT KALE!
And one of the the tastiest too, I might add!
In fact, eggs…
- Are loaded with antioxidants
- Contain high quality protein and healthy fats
- Have the vitamin and mineral profile of a multivitamin
AND… They:
- Raise GOOD cholesterol in the body (DELETE the cholesterol/egg thinking PLEASE!!!)
So really, eggs should be looked at like…
THIS!
Unfortunately, some preparations of eggs, are not so angelic.
Deviled eggs, for example, (I mean, “devil” is in the title), are not extraordinarily heavenly to your health… And it’s ALL THANKS to the globs of mayonnaise used in the traditional recipe.
This is the star of the next horror film: GASTRIC DISTRESS. The movie hits theaters October 31, 2014!
By the way: If you click the “globs of mayonnaise” link above, you’ll notice this mayo’s brand is: BEST FOOD! Such an OXYMORON!! This is a picture perfect example of FALSE ADVERTISING!!!
AND END TANGENT…

In our latest DUDE FOOD episode, Whitney and I transform this “demonic dish” into something far more cherubic!!
CRACK OPEN, not just ONE but THREE healthy variations of this EGG-STRAORDINARY TREAT:
Classic Deviled Eggs (4 Halves)
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 Hard Boiled Whole Egg Whites
- 2 Tbs Green Onion
- 1/2 Tsp Spicy Mustard
- 1/2 Tbs Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
Mexican Style Deviled Eggs (4 Halves)
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 Hard Boiled Whole Egg Whites
- 1/4 Avocado
- 1 Tbs Salsa (mild, medium or hot depending on your mouth’s HEAT METER!)

To make all versions of these eggs:
- Boil eggs for roughly 10 minutes.
- Place eggs in ice bath and when cool, peel and halve.
- Discard one yolk but keep the other.
- Mix all ingredients depending on which version you want to inhale.
- Stuff your egg white cavities and shovel in your mouth like there is NO TOMORROW!
So Tell Me….
- Do you consider yourself an angel or a devil and why?
- Word association: I say Mayo, you say…..?
- What would you fill an egg white cavity with? That just sounds so wrong…
- Have you ever had a deviled egg before? Prior to this experience, I never have!
- Out of all of the unhealthy foods in the world, what should Whitney and I recreate next?
- Do you believe the egg/cholesterol dispute!?
- If you could force feed one celebrity mayo, who would it be and why?
This is the face of a girl who has NEVER eaten a Deviled Egg before! MIND BLOWN!
