This is a wonderful alternative to regular deviled eggs. The deviled ham gives these eggs a delightful country flavor!

6 hard-boiled eggs, shells removed
1 (3 ounce) can deviled ham
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
Paprika

1. Slice the eggs in half; carefully remove the yolks into a small mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork; stir in the deviled ham, mustard, mayonnaise and salt, mixing until creamy.

2. Spoon the mixture back into the hollows in the egg whites; sprinkle with a small amount of Paprika for color. Makes 12 halves, each with 1 gram carbohydrate, a trace of fiber and 4 grams of protein.
