Pesto Deviled Eggs

When I was a kid I used to loath hard boiled eggs. On Easter, I hunted them, then threw them away or never ate them. I didn't even really like deviled eggs and didn't until just a few years ago. That was mostly because I'm not a mayonnaise fan and always felt like deviled eggs were overflowing with mayo. Then I discovered, you don't actually HAVE to put mayo in the recipe!

In fact, you can make some pretty tasty deviled eggs without mayonnaise. Like these pesto deviled eggs that are always a hit at parties and gatherings. Completely mayo free and still just as creamy and delicious!
