Just like the proverbial apple, an egg a day can also keep the doctor away. But all of the fat and most of the calories are in the yolk! Instead, we're stuffing protein-perfect egg whites with delicious, low fat alternatives like curried squash, spicy guacamole and Asian-flavored smoked salmon to create "Devilish" eggs, rather than the deviled version full of yolks and mayonnaise. They're nutritious, flavorful and decorative just in case you need to cater a 50+ party with extra healthy hors d'oeuvres!

Instructions
- Hard boil, cool, peel and halve the eggs. Pop out the yolks and reserve for another purpose, even if it's scattering the crushed yolk on your dog's kibble.
- Rinse and dry egg white cups to remove any residual yolk or discoloration. We want pristinely white whites.
- Quarter a large acorn squash and scoop out the innards. Rub with olive oil. Place on a small backing sheet and season with a scant pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then sprinkle with a light dusting of curry powder.
- Place in a preheated oven at 375 for about 20 minutes. It's best to cook the squash until completely tender since we're mashing it.
- Test for doneness with a fork. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before scooping out the flesh.
- In a shallow bowl, or on a clean cutting board, mash the squash thoroughly with a fork. Season to taste with additional curry powder, but don't overpower the natural sweetness of the squash.
- Refrigerate in a covered container until needed. Crush a few pistachios for garnish.
- Halve, pit and scoop the flesh from a ripe avocado. Mash in a shallow bowl with a squeeze of fresh lime, both to add bright flavor and prevent discoloration. Add a scant pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Finely minced enough of the onion for one heaping tablespoon and add to avocado. Finely mince the jalapeno and add according to desired taste. Finely chopped fresh cilantro and add. Reserve a few whole cilantro leaves for a garnish. Combine all ingredients, cover and reserve.
- Slice thin, triangular blades of radish and reserve in cold water for a garnish.
- Place a few drops of soy sauce in a third of the egg white cups. Add a sprinkle of crushed wasabi peas then create a rosette from a slice of smoked salmon and place it within the egg white. Top with another sprinkle of crushed wasabi peas and garnish with chive.
- In another third of the egg whites, fill with guacamole and garnish with radish blades and cilantro leaves. In the remains egg whites, fill with curried squash and garnish with crushed pistachio. Nest all your high protein, healthy fat creations in a deviled egg tray and serve with fresh lime or lemon wedges.
