Buffalo Deviled Eggs:
Deviled eggs are a classic spring and summertime side dish, but the fat and calorie content can really add up! These Buffalo Deviled Eggs are a fun take on that traditional deviled egg that we all know and love. The wing sauce jazzes them up with a spicy kick — a delightful surprise for your guests! We kept these eggs on the lighter side by cutting the amount of egg yolks in half, and swapping half of the mayo with Greek yogurt. Finely diced celery on top makes for a refreshing crunch, and a sprinkle of Bleu cheese balances the heat with each savory bite. Make them for Easter or for just a warm-weather picnic; either way, you won't be disappointed.
