Beet Deviled Eggs
These Beet Deviled Eggs (with a spin) are spiced up with a hint of coriander, smoked paprika and chili powder, and instead of mayo and mustard, I went with red wine vinegar and Greek yogurt. To make things all pretty and jazz up the nutrition, I threw in some beets!
I’ve partnered with Eggland’s Best to bring y’all these Beet Deviled Eggs. All opinions expressed are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep this blog spinning.
If I happen to be sitting near a plate of deviled eggs, it’s so hard for me to leave that plate alone. That combo of creamy, spiced yolk filling nestled in a casing of firm egg white can be quite addicting. I keep picking up one after another of those little, two-bite morsels of deliciousness and before I know it, that plate is empty!
Deviled eggs are so darn delicious! And, they have come along way since their early beginnings with the Romans around the 5th century!
Around the holidays, my daughter makes some traditional deviled eggs that sometimes end up disappearing before they even have a chance to make it to the holiday table. Clearly I have some talented and smart holiday guests!
However, around Halloween, the deviled-egg-baton is passed onto me to come up with an out-of-the-box version, like these Beet Deviled Eggs.
A few years ago, I made these Deviled Egg Bloody (beet) Eyeballs.
Ingredients to make these Beet Deviled Eggs:
This year, I am sticking with the beet theme, only jazzing it up in a different way. Like they did in Spain in the 13th century when they made deviled eggs by mashing the yolk with cilantro, onion, pepper, coriander, murri (fermented barley or fish sauce), oil, and salt and leaving out the mayo and mustard; I opted to mix Eggland‘s Best egg yolks with:
• Mashed, boiled beets,
• Coriander,
• Smoked paprika,
• Chili powder
• Red wine vinegar, &
• Greek yogurt
If you’d like a break from the traditional mayo-mustard deviled eggs, then do give these spice-alicious ones a try.
When It comes to eggs, Eggland’s Best is my favorite choice.

The first time I made these, I had quite a bit of that beet deviled egg filling leftover, which my daughter and I ended up eating smeared on large white mushrooms, crusty french bread, and even on leaves of lettuce. Please check out the recipe in it’s entirety on the Eggland’s Best website (through this link).
