Super Bowl Sunday is quickly approaching. Some of my favorite appetizers include Buffalo Chicken Dip with Celery Sticks or Tortilla Chips, Chicken Wings, Appetizer Veggie Pizza, Veggie Tray with Dill Dip, Shrimp Cocktail, Fruit Skewers, Cheese & Crackers (Crunchmaster or Blue Diamond Nut Thins). Something we don’t have often, but my husband made the other day is Deviled Eggs. Deviled Eggs are perfect to add to the repertoire for Super Bowl Sunday.
Deviled Eggs are naturally gluten-free as long as the ingredients you use are gluten-free. My husband is the pro at making the eggs, so I leave it up to him. I went to him this morning to get his recipe only to find that he doesn’t use one! I will share his method and ingredients.
Aaron’s Deviled Egg ingredients:
- 12 hard-boiled eggs (this last time he ended up with only 10 after losing 2 in a boiling accident)
- Approximately 1/4 cup Hellman’s Canola Mayo (says gluten-free on the jar)
- 1-2 tsp Spicy Brown Mustard (Trader Joe’s)
- 1-2 tsp Yellow Mustard (French’s)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Paprika
Directions:
- Cut eggs in half & remove yolks.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl & mix until creamy. Adjust seasoning & ingredients to taste.
- Pipe mixture back into eggs and sprinkle with paprika. Other topping ideas- scallions, chives, pickle relish, carrots, diced red or green peppers.
They turn out fantastic every time! I wish I could cook as he does. Who would you like to see win the Super Bowl?
I have a question about cooking gluten-free. I use good GF flours like Pamela’s or Jules; is there something special I need to do in order to use my old recipes substituting the GF flour for regular flour? I have been wanting to try this, but I didn’t know if there’s some secret to having the recipe come out right. Especially baking.
Toni,
Both Pamela’s & Jules contain xanthan gum, so you should be able to use them cup for cup in your recipes. The baked goods I have been making with Jules Flour have been close to identical to the non-gluten-free version.
I hope this helps.
