Why I Love This Healthy Deviled Eggs

These Healthy Deviled Eggs hold a special place in my heart. Growing up, my family would always make traditional deviled eggs for holidays and family get-togethers.

But as I’ve gotten conscious about what I eat, I wanted to reinvent them without losing that satisfying creamy goodness.

The Greek yogurt gives these eggs a rich texture while being lighter than mayonnaise, making them a perfect snack or appetizer.

Plus, they’re simple and fun to make — even the kids can join in on the fun of spooning or piping the yolk mixture back into the egg whites!

Ingredients

6 hard-boiled eggs
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish
Chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

How to Make Healthy Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Peel the Eggs

Start by peeling the hard-boiled eggs carefully. Try to keep the whites intact, as they’ll hold the delicious filling later.

Step 2: Slice the Eggs

Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.

Step 3: Mix the Filling

Add in the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix everything until smooth and creamy. You want a nice, fluffy texture!

Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. You can use a piping bag for a fancier look or just a simple spoon.

Step 5: Garnish

Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika for that classic touch. If you like, add fresh chives or parsley on top for a pop of color.

Step 6: Chill or Serve

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator if you prefer them cold.
