Angelic Deviled Eggs

An excellent source of protein, our version is much less devilish because we’ve replaced half the egg yolks with low-fat cottage cheese, and then blended it all together with a spike of hot mustard and a pinch of dill.  So dig in with a “devil-may-care”attitude…they’re heavenly! Serves 8.
