Ham and Swiss Deviled Eggs are a twist on a classic. I've taken one of my favorite sandwich combinations and transformed it into a zesty deviled egg! The saltiness of the ham and the creaminess of the Swiss cheese make this appetizer irresistible.

This week's Sunday Supper theme is "Eggtastic Recipes" and I'm super excited about it because I love eggs! Eggs have taken the heat over the years for their fat content and high cholesterol levels, but they are making a comeback as a naturally highly nutritious food, and I'm loving that! 

Eggs are extremely versatile! You can have eggs for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even as a snack! You can enjoy them simply as they are, or you can dress them up! They are an essential component of many baked goods and help bind meats together in dishes like meatballs and meatloaf. And that is only the tip of the iceberg! They truly are EGGTASTIC! 

I LOVE deviled eggs! If you've read my blog for awhile, you will know that I have a sort of love affair with deviled eggs.  In my Heavenly Deviled Eggs, some of the yolk mixture is replaced with cauliflower puree for a deviled egg that is lighter on calories! My Sriracha Deviled Eggs with Candied Jalapeno take on a zesty flavor profile that is out of this world and my Pickled Red Onion Deviled Eggs are always a crowd pleaser! Today I'm sharing these delectable Ham and Swiss Deviled Eggs that get their flavor profile from one of my favorite sandwich combinations. 

The ham in the filling of these eggs adds a little saltiness and the horseradish, if you decide to add it, adds a little zippiness. It's a great combination!  These deviled eggs would make a wonderful addition to your holiday Easter table this year! Give them a try and let me know what you think! 

Ham and Swiss Deviled Eggs

By Renee P.

A twist on the classic deviled egg with the flavors of salty ham and creamy Swiss cheese.

Ingredients

• 12 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
• 1 wedge of creamy Swiss spreadable cheese
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise (I like to use the kind with olive oil)
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/2 TBS apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. prepared horseradish (optional)
• 2 oz. deli ham, finely chopped (reserve a few pieces for garnish)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 TBS shredded Swiss cheese, for garnish
• smoked paprika, for garnish, if desired

Instructions

1. Cut eggs in half long ways. Scoop out yolks and place into food processor fitted with blade. Place the egg white "shells" on a serving platter.
2. To the yolks, add the spreadable cheese wedge, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, horseradish and deli ham. Process until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add more vinegar, if needed to make mixture smooth.
3. Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into egg whites. Top with reserved ham and shredded Swiss cheese, then sprinkle with smoked paprika.
