Green Deviled Eggs and Ham
I am a super fan of Dr. Seuss Day! If you haven’t noticed I include a Green Eggs and Ham recipe in all of my cookbooks (Which are on SALE now!) This recipe is a twist on deviled eggs!
Before my job as a nutritionist, I worked at a camp where we taught a class on the Lorax by Dr. Seuss. It was actually a puppet show to teach kids on the importance of taking care of Mother Nature. I have some amazing memories of working at the camp and my children now get to experience camp once a month with their home school program (we live about 2 miles away from camp).
Anyway, if you would like to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday with us, you must try these Green Deviled Eggs and Ham!

Thank you for your love and support!
Green Deviled Eggs and Ham
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 4 slices sugar free bacon diced into ¼ inch pieces
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise store-bought or homemade
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1/2 small avocado pureed (or guacamole)
- 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- chopped fresh chives for garnish
- 24 slices thinly shaved ham
Instructions
- Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then immediately cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to cook in hot water for 11 minutes.
- Meanwhile place the diced bacon in a skillet and saute until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon from pan, Set aside.
- To make the deviled eggs, After 11 minutes, drain the hot water and rinse with very cold water for about a minute or two to stop the cooking process. Peel the boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl (or a food processor). Mash or blend the egg yolks with a fork until they are the texture of very fine crumbles. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, avocado, and salt. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle with diced bacon and diced chives.
- Place a slice of rolled up ham in between each deviled egg.
- Keep leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
- BUSY FAMILY TIP: I keep a dozen hard-boiled eggs in my fridge at all times. My boys who are four and six love to help me in the kitchen and peeling eggs is one of the things they can do without my constant attention so I can prepare other food.

Hi! How much vinegar in the Green Egg recipe?
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon.
Thank you for this recipe! I will definitely make these eggs. Do you store your dozen hard-boiled eggs peeled or unpeeled in the fridge?
I store them with peels on. They last longer.
Love it! Am I the only person who ends up eating all the leftover deviled egg “filling” with a spoon? It’s kinda like my keto version of cookie dough.
Lol!!!! Me too!!!! I under fill the egg whites so I can eat the extra filling❤❤❤
Looks yummy! I’ve been wondering for a while now… where do you find ketogenic ham without added sugar? Thank you!
I use applegate.
If this recipe serves six, then is the nutritional info for 4 egg halves?
Yes
Hi there just got your Quick & Easy Ketogenic Cookbook. I saw that you have a 7 day shopping list for the 7 day meal plan. But I do not see a shopping list for the 30 day weight loss and healing meal plan or the dairy free option.
How do I know what ingredients to get for all the recipes. And to have a breakdown for each week?
Thank you!!
In that book we only had the shopping list for the 7 day plans. 🙂
Ah ok. So for the dairy free 30 plan, how would I do the recipes to know how much I have for each week. Or do I calculate it out and then just freeze the other servings? I just went to my kinesiologist and she wants me on dairy free so I’ll start those recipes.
