     This recipe is a great breakfast idea. I could make it the night before and serve it for a fast breakfast while shooting out the door. I would also like to try it with my favorite light ricotta instead of cottage cheese. - 5/12/10

     The unused egg yolks can be used in egg salad sandwiches, in potato salad, in a dip, just to eat...... They are too tasty and nutritious to simply "discard"..... We had "deviled" eggs twice at Thanksgiving time and simply spooned the yolk mix high. Adding cottage cheese sounds like a good idea. - 11/29/08

     I would have never thought of putting cottage cheese in egg salad - great idea. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks! - 12/20/08

     I like mixing the yolks with light miracle whip and light chive and onion cream cheese. Creamy and flavorful! - 5/12/10

     Although I think this isa good recipe I am really concerned by the comment that one should discard 3 of the egg yolks! As a pensioner I have to use all my ingrediens to the full. I used the 3 extra egg yolks in my kedgeree but cld thinkof other ways to use them instead of binning them. - 11/29/08

     My family doesn't care for the pickle relish in deviled eggs, but loves my choice of seasonings: mustard, n/f mayonnaise, garlic, a dash of cerlery salt, dill weed, paprika and vinegar. Also use low-fat whipped cream cheese instead of cottage cheese, but plan to try no-fat cottage cheese next time. - 7/18/10

     I have always used (as did my mother) "hot dog relish" which has mustard already in it, when preparing deviled eggs. This is pretty much my recipe with a little cottage cheese added. I too wonder why all these people are flipping out over the extra egg yolks - if there are any. So silly - 5/12/10

     l like them and think this will be a new way of making them - 5/12/10

     I also like the idea of using the cottage cheese as a lower calorie alternative to the mayo but some mayonaises are low or fat free and have few calories per tbsp so maybe it wouldn't save calories or very few. I would use the extra yolks for something but definately not discard them. - 5/12/10

     The cottage cheese stretched it out a bit, and made it very tasty - 5/12/10

     I'll have to give this a try. My dog adores extra hard-boiled egg yolks. She'll be happy and so will I. - 5/12/10

     Like this but seems a lot of preparation for such a small snack - 5/12/10

     I think using the extra egg yolks for something else is a given. Why is everyone being so anal about using them for something else???????? - 5/12/10
  • RE2BAH
     I made egg beater deviled eggs, using them for the filling, mixed in food processor. I gave my yolks to my neighbor for her homemade noodles. - 5/12/10

     Great! I never would have thought of using cottage cheese. - 11/30/08

     I never considered cottage cheese! What a great idea, can't wait to try it. - 11/29/08
  • SCRIBE4CHRIST
     I don't like the texture of the cottage cheese and I'm not all
    that sure about the relish. Just the plain basics but in a reduced fat way seem to suite my family. - 11/29/08
  • TBATTEY
     Tasy little treats & a welcome change to the usual deviled eggs. - 11/29/08

     Sounds delicious - 3/15/11

     I will definitely try this. At present I use yogurt with low fat sour cream. Also add a little dill, parsley, and paprika to taste. - 8/13/10
  • CGSCAFE
     I'll have to try these but like others, I think I'll try ricotta cheese in place of cottage cheese. I prefer ricotta over cottage cheese(unless I put in blender first).I like idea of stretching the filling. Will also use extra yolks maybe on garden salads; will add color and flavor! - 7/20/10

     Sounds like a good idea! - 7/19/10
