FAQ
Yes, but keeping them gives the best texture and flavor.
Classic, garlic, or lemon hummus are the best options.
Moderately low-carb. Adjust hummus amount if needed.
Notes
You can use either homemade or store-bought hummus here. I used my Roasted Garlic And Lemon Hummus recipe.
A simple roasted garlic and lemon version works especially well and adds great flavor.
For a standard batch, a small amount of hummus is enough to create a smooth, creamy filling.
For best texture and flavor, keep the egg yolks in the mixture.
If you’re aiming for a lighter version, you can fill the egg whites with hummus only, but the classic yolk-based filling is more balanced and satisfying.
Store the deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
