Did you have a good Easter? I cooked, like I do for all the holidays. Appetizers: Kielbasa, cheese and crackers, and these Creamy Horseradish Deviled Eggs- simple, creamy deviled eggs made with cream cheese, spicy brown mustard and prepared horseradish. You're going to love these!
Dinner was a simple salad with spring mix, grape tomatoes, red onions and a goat cheese with candied apricots and pumpkins seeds, baked honey ham, a lightened up version of my Scalloped Potatoes using lower fat cheese and light cream, and Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan. For dessert I got lazy and bought a lemon meringue pie.
My favorite deviled eggs have been Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs for a long time, but we don't normally eat bacon anymore (a tragedy, I know) since my husbands heart attack and switch to a lower fat, low cholesterol diet. I know, you thinking, but there is cholesterol in the egg yolks of deviled eggs! Yes, there is. I'm not willing to jump on the idea that the recent studies saying the cholesterol in food doesn't make that much of a difference, because I believe that is meant for healthy people, not those that already have heart disease. Keeping with that, I did use the yolk, but used cholesterol free mayonnaise and reduced fat cream cheese. Yes, there is cream cheese in these delicious creamy horseradish deviled eggs, and I love it!
I also love how simple these are to make. No chopping, cooking (well, other than hard-boiling the eggs), and not a lot of mess to clean up. Just a cutting board, one bowl to mix the yolks in, and a fork. I supposed you could get fancy and use a piping bag to put the filling in, but I didn't have time for that. Or the desire. Either way.

Ingredients
- 12 hard-boiled eggs

Instructions
- Cut the eggs in half length-wise, and scoop out the yolks into a small mixing bowl. Set the hard egg white aside.

This looks so delicious! That end picture is so beautiful! Definitely makes my mouth water. I love the idea of adding a different flair to deviled eggs instead of just going with what feels like the same recipe everyone makes! Thank you for sharing!
