Print Recipe

A lighter twist on classic deviled eggs using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, offering a creamy, tangy, and fresh appetizer perfect for light entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh dill sprigs or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to cool. Gently tap and peel each egg, rinsing off leftover shell bits.
  3. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, chopped chives, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add more yogurt by teaspoon if mixture is too thick.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Use a piping bag with a star tip for a polished look or a spoon for casual serving.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika on top of each egg and add fresh dill or red pepper flakes if desired. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. Add yogurt gradually to avoid runny filling. Prepare filling and eggs a day ahead but fill eggs just before serving to avoid sogginess. Use a piping bag for a neat presentation. Variations include adding sriracha for spice or swapping herbs. Vegan version possible with tofu and vegan yogurt.
