How to Make Easy Deviled Eggs

These easy deviled eggs are simply classic and taste amazing! They use both Greek yogurt and mayo for the perfect flavor.

Deviled eggs are a classic at many family parties. I know they usually show up at ours, on both sides of the family! While I’m sure you have a version of your own from family recipes, I have to share what I’ve found to be the perfect, tasty twist: add Greek yogurt to your filling!

Along with both yellow and Dijon mustard and mayo, the yogurt adds the perfect flavoring to these eggs without being overly rich. Garnish with dried dill or smoked paprika, or a mix of the two, to make it even more festive. You have a new classic recipe for deviled eggs!

Making easy deviled eggs

Deviled eggs are easy to make, but I have a few tips to error-proof the process! It starts with prepping your eggs for that perfect peel.

Step 1: Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and rest for 15 minutes.

The first step in how to make easy deviled eggs is hard-boiling them! Older eggs are easier to peel, so if you can arrange it, it’s nice to use eggs that have been in the refrigerator for a bit.

To boil your eggs, place them at the bottom of a pot and cover them with 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a boil. As soon as it boils, remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 15 minutes.

You can also make steamed hard-boiled eggs, the method I’ve found to be the easiest to peel, or throw your eggs in an Instant Pot.

Step 2: Let the eggs sit in an ice bath for 15 minutes.

Prepare a large bowl of ice water. When the eggs are done in the pot, place them directly into the bowl of ice water. Let them sit for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Peel the eggs, cut them in half, and remove the yolks.

Here’s a tip on how to peel hard-boiled eggs. Gently tap the larger end of the egg so that the shell cracks. (It has an air bubble, which makes it easy to peel.)Then start to peel off the shell. Continue peeling the shell until all the pieces are removed. Then cut each egg in half and remove the yolk with a spoon.

Step 4: Mix the yolks with yogurt, mayo, and mustard.

For this recipe, I mix the egg yolks with Greek yogurt, mayo, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and salt. There are two methods for mixing. You can mash the yolks in a bowl with a fork and then mix in the remaining ingredients. This can sometimes make the consistency lumpy.

If you’re planning to pipe your filling using a pastry bag, the alternative is to mix the filling in a stand mixer or electric mixer. This helps it to get creamy without lumps. If there are any lumps in the pastry bag, it makes it very difficult to pipe out the filling.

Step 5: Fill the eggs, garnish, and serve!

Use a pastry bag to pipe the filling into the deviled eggs, or simply use a spoon! The pastry bag is helpful if you want it to look uniform, like the eggs in the photo. But of course, it’s not necessary. You can just scoop it back in with a spoon!

Garnish your eggs with dried dill and smoked paprika, or a mixture of both, for a festive feel. You can also use normal paprika. I just like the smoky flair that the smoked paprika adds. It’s nice if you can find it!
