Deviled Eggs are an easy dish to adapt to a GAPS diet. It's just a matter of making a couple of substitutions. First, if you don't already, source your eggs from local hens that are raised on pasture where they have plenty of room to lead natural chicken lives scratching the ground, eating bugs and grass, and soaking in healthy doses of sunshine. You can ask the farmer about the hens' feed. Is their feed organic? Does it contain soy? If you need help sourcing fresh pastured eggs and other farm fresh foods, check with your local Weston A. Price chapter for this information.
Next substitute the store bought mayo which can contain ingredients such as soybean oil and modified corn starch for either your own homemade mayonnaise made from a pastured egg yolk and a quality EVOO or, for a probiotic boost, substitute the mayo with some kefir, yogurt, or crème fraiche - or a combination of these. I kept it pretty simple for my last batch mixing a little kefir and a little crème fraiche with the egg yolks along with organic mustard and plenty of salt and pepper. I don't measure, so I just used what I needed to get the filling to a creamy consistency. I also sprinkled the salt and pepper inside the empty egg white and on the backs of the eggs before I filled them because I like flavor in every bite. You may also want to experiment with other modifications. I like mixing a little avocado in with the yolks and topping with some pretty red sauerkraut as a garnish. This is just one simple way to increase our probiotic intake and get the most out of the foods we eat. I hope you'll take this concept and apply it to other recipes that you love. And perhaps you'll be sharing some GAPS-friendly probiotic deviled eggs at your next family gathering. I plan to!
