This tuna deviled eggs (eggs stuffed with tuna) it’s that kind of recipe that saves me when I have to prepare something tasty, it’s that kind of recipe that I make most of the times when some friends come to visit me, without letting me know, so I have to make something simple and quick to feed them. Well, this recipe is not only very quick and easy to prepare, but it’s also very tasty.

I know that some of you may say that this stuffed eggs are not so healthy because they have mayonnaise. What should you do? You can avoid it, you can eat them without mayonnaise, just like that. I do recognize that I didn’t used a lot of mayonnaise in this preparation, but once, twice a year, I think we all deserve this culinary delight.

All of you who know how to make mayonnaise, please hands up! Bravo! I always prefer homemade mayo instead of that one that we can buy from the supermarket. HERE you can find my recipe for mayonnaise!

Note:
If you want to get a finer filling, you can add extra 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise in the tuna-egg yolks composition.
