Savoy Eggs
Savoy Eggs are creamy, savory appetizer eggs filled with a tangy yogurt-based mixture, perfect for gatherings and those who enjoy classic, flavorful finger foods.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs, slice them in half, and remove the yolks.
- Mash the yolks in a bowl and stir in the yogurt, mayonnaise, and mustard until well blended.
- Mound the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg white halves.
- Garnish the filled eggs with paprika and olives before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to the yolk mixture. Greek yogurt can be a great substitute for regular yogurt if you prefer a thicker texture. If you want to spice things up, try incorporating some diced jalapeños or hot sauce into the filling. These delicious Savoy Eggs can be served as part of a brunch spread or as a tasty appetizer at gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
These Savoy Eggs are perfect for brunch or as a savory snack at parties. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or alongside dishes like Macaroni-Pineapple Toss. Consider serving them on a platter with olives and fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation. A light dipping sauce can also enhance the experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Savoy Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently place them in a microwave for about 15-20 seconds, though they are best enjoyed cold. If you anticipate having leftovers, consider keeping the filling separate from the egg whites to maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Savoy Eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the yolk mixture a day in advance and keep it refrigerated. Just fill the egg whites on the day of serving to maintain their freshness. This makes them a convenient option for entertaining or meal prep.
What can I substitute for mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier option, you can substitute mayonnaise with mashed avocado or a light sour cream. This will alter the flavor slightly but will still give you a creamy texture in the filling.
How do I ensure the eggs are perfectly hard-boiled?
To achieve perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat, letting them sit for 12-14 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
