These are really good and it's nice that they don't have any high-calorie mayo. The only change I would make is to omit the paprika because it competes with the basil. -
Nice twist on deviled eggs! I included the optional sundried tomatoes, so I used 1 T extra virgin olive oil and 1 T oil from the sundried tomatoes. Very nice flavor. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '12

Never tried to make "deviled eggs" without mayo but my husband doesn't like mayo so we tried this one. The taste was pretty good. The olive oil we used was too strong and gave them too much of an olive oil taste. I might try it again with a lighter oil. Otherwise a good recipe if you are trying not to use the mayo.
