Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, setting the whites aside.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- In a bowl, blend the mashed yolks with plain yogurt, parsley flakes or freeze-dried chives, lemon juice or dry vermouth, prepared mustard, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper.
- Refill each egg white half with about 1 tablespoon of the yolk mixture.
- Sprinkle with a dash of paprika before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. If you want to add some crunch, finely chopped celery or pickles can be mixed in. To enhance the flavor, try using Dijon mustard instead of prepared mustard. Additionally, fresh herbs like dill can be a delightful substitute for parsley. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover hard-cooked eggs from Easter gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
These yogurt deviled eggs make an excellent appetizer for gatherings or holidays. They pair beautifully with a light salad or as a side for sandwiches. For a stunning presentation, serve them on a bed of mixed greens and garnish with additional herbs. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside dishes like Mom'S Peanut Butter Crisscrosses.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover yogurt deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain freshness, cover the container tightly. Reheat is not recommended as it may alter the texture; instead, enjoy them cold. If preparing ahead, consider filling the egg whites just before serving to keep them crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the yolk mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the egg whites shortly before serving to ensure they remain fresh. This is a great time-saver for parties or gatherings.
What can I substitute for the yogurt?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, try using avocado or hummus to create a creamy texture. You can also use mayonnaise if you prefer a richer flavor. These substitutions will still yield delicious deviled eggs.
How can I make these deviled eggs spicier?
To add some heat, consider mixing in some sriracha or a dash of hot sauce into the yolk mixture. Alternatively, finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper can elevate the spiciness without overwhelming the dish.
