I'm obsessed with eggs for breakfast. Almost every day I wake up early, hit the gym and then whip up an omelet with whatever I have in the fridge. It's a morning tradition.
That is, when I'm home.
If you haven't noticed my posting here on GreenLiteBites has been a little spotty. I've been traveling a lot this summer and actually have one more big trip planned next week with the 8-year-old. I'll be posting about it on TheUnworldlyTravelers if you want updates.
Anyway, this morning I thought I'd mix things up a bit. I made a dozen hard-boiled eggs a few days ago, and normally on really busy mornings I'll just grab a couple, but today I had a few minutes to experiment with a deviled egg idea I've had for some time.
One of the perks of working with The Laughing Cow is free cheese. I have every Smooth Sensations flavor in my fridge and I've been wanting to find fun ways to eat them besides smeared on a bagel, which is absolutely delicious but a bit boring. Plus I'm just not a big bagel girl anymore.
Eggs are my new go-to for breakfast and now I've come up with a way to eat eggs and cream cheese and let me tell you, it's delicious!
I've never been that big of a deviled egg fan mostly because the stuff -- OK, mayo -- people put in them grosses me. I'm not going to get into it again, just know mayo and I have never been friends.
The result of using The Laughing Cow and the egg yolks was a thick, creamy, satisfying bite. I added the pickle and bacon just because and it ended up being my favorite part of the bite. The sweet and salty bits hit your taste buds first and it sets the stage for the rest of the deviled egg experience.
I may have liked these a little too much. Here's what I did...
- 2 hard-boiled eggs (Click here for my easy peel technique)
- 1 wedge of The Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread
- ¼ tsp sweet pickle juice
- 1 sweet pickle slice, chopped
- small sprinkling of real bacon bits
Cut the eggs in half and gently remove the yolks.
Combine the yolks, Laughing Cow and pickle juice.
Mix until smooth.
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Then sprinkle with the pickle and bacon bits.
Enjoy!

Wow! I took this idea and turned it into egg salad to go in a pita pocket. I added a teaspoon of relish, chopped one egg and mixed it all together. I put it in a pita with romaine and raw spinach. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration.
I LOVE eggs of all forms. And occasionally I make deviled eggs as part of a quick meal, but never even considered Laughing Cow cheese (which I also love) with them. Wow! Cannot WAIT to give this a go.
I love the idea of deviled eggs for breakfast! Sometimes I will dice up two hard boiled eggs and add a tablespoon of blue cheese and toss. Love this with a side of tomato! You've inspired me to try more deviled eggs for breakfast.
That's the perfect breakfast right there, bit of protein, fat and carbs 🙂
Those look awesome. Hard boiled eggs are my go to as well for those early mornings. Easy source of fuel for my hectic nursing job.
I was surprised/disappointed to find out that Laughing Cow is NOT real cheese. False advertising.
Kat,
If you have any questions about the products you should contact The Laughing Cow, their customer service is really good... https://www.thelaughingcow.com/contact-us/.
That being said, their ingredient list doesn't scare me. 🙂
What makes it not real cheese? It's cultured milk...cheese is cultured milk, right?
Be still my heart! I love eggs and they've always been my go to at breakfast. I have an obsession with egg salad or deviled eggs, so this will definitely help curb that craving. What a great idea!
