chemegurrl - When I went back and looked, I realized they had 3 recipes for deviled eggs. When I looked closer, I saw (to me) they just sounded okay...I guess I'm just your traditional deviled egg kinda gal!  I'm thinking about using the tofu one as a base and coming up with my own to see if I can get a more traditional flavor. If I come up with something, I'll let you know.

Deviled Eggs with Tofu-Herb Filling
Yield 6 Servings
6 large eggs, hard-boiled & shelled
1 piece extra-firm lowfat tofu, 3 inches by 2 inches by ½ inch, drained
1 tablespoon nonfat plain yogurt
1 clove garlic
4 leaves fresh basil
¼ cup fresh parsley
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh herbs or paprika
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully discard the yolk. Set egg white hollows aside. Process the tofu, yogurt, garlic, basil, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a puree in a food processor. If the puree is too watery to handle, add more tofu and process (or, if handy, add a small boiled, peeled potato and process). Adjust seasoning. Spoon into egg hollows. Garnish with sprigs of herb or sprinkled paprika. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

I made this variation today. It was OK, but I did end up adding about 1 T mayo because it was too dry as-is. (Might be because I didn't puree it, no way was I getting out and washing all 84 pieces of the food processor for this.) It wasn't bad, but sort of made me wonder why I had bothered making it, if that makes sense? Just didn't taste distinct enough.
