A healthier twist on classic deviled eggs using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a creamy, tangy, and low-calorie snack with Dijon mustard and fresh chives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and halved
  • ⅓ cup (80g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.
  3. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  4. Gently tap and peel each egg, rinsing under cold water if needed to remove shell bits.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly but not powdery.
  7. Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to the mashed yolks. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add more yogurt if mixture is too thick.
  8. Fold in chopped chives, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, aiming for a neat, slightly mounded dollop.
  10. Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs for garnish.
  11. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Stir Greek yogurt well before mixing to avoid graininess. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with thick coconut yogurt. Hard boil eggs a day ahead and peel for convenience. Avoid microwaving filled eggs to prevent curdling.
