No Cholesterol Deviled Eggs

This is NOT a TYPO! there is absolutely no cholesterol in these deviled eggs!
HOW can this be? All the cholesterol (and fat) is concentrated in the yolk of the egg; remove the yolk and form the fillings and voila! the cholesterol is gone! The key is to replace the yolk with something as tasty, filling and satisfying.
We used our very own nut-free hummusand it was a tremendous success! If you decide to use store-bought, make sure to read the ingredients since commercially produced hummus contains tahini ( sesame seed paste) which could trigger nut allergies
Try these in your next appetizer party and ther will sure be a hit!
Ingredients: for 4 portions
4 Hard-boiled eggs
1/4 to 1/2 cup hummus
red peppers to garnish
salt and pepper to taste
Boil the eggs , peel and cut in half lengthwise while still warm. Remove the yolks. Salt and pepper the eggs and fill in with hummus.
You can get as fancy or as simple as you like by pipping it in; we spread with a spoon and covered the whole surface of the egg, you may just want to do a “mock yolk” for fun.
Garnish with red peppers and brush with some olive oil for sheen. Arrange on serving dish and cover with plastic wrap. Let it refrigerate for at least hour.
Before serving, let it stand for 10 mins out of the fridge.
ENJOY!
