Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs
Description
Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs are made by halving hard-boiled large eggs and mixing the yolks with plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. The filling is smooth and creamy, accented by the paprika’s smoky depth and a mild heat from cayenne. Unlike classic deviled eggs, this recipe uses Greek yogurt, which brings a tangier, lighter texture. The yolk mixture is spooned into the whites and topped with additional smoked paprika for color and flavor.
The eggs are best served shortly after assembling but can be refrigerated and brought back to room temperature before serving. The recipe suggests spooning rather than piping the filling to avoid waste. Using strained yogurt ensures the filling is not too watery, maintaining a thick consistency. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to three days, but freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.
Ingredients
- 6 egg hard-boiled, large
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain, whole-milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika plus more for topping
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks into a small bowl. Arrange the whites on a serving plate.
- Use a fork to mash the egg yolks. Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until smooth. If the mixture seems too dry, add more yogurt.
- Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites. Sprinkle smoked paprika on top.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For best texture, use strained plain Greek yogurt or skyr instead of regular yogurt.
- Spoon the yolk mixture into egg whites instead of piping to minimize waste.
- Serve the deviled eggs soon after preparation for optimal flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; do not freeze.
