Notes

Tips:

Perfectly Boiled Eggs:

• To ensure your eggs are perfectly cooked and easy to peel, use a timer and transfer the eggs to an ice bath immediately after boiling. This stops the cooking process and helps prevent overcooking.

Peeling the Eggs:

• For easier peeling, use slightly older eggs (about a week old). Start peeling from the wider end where the air pocket is, making it easier to get under the shell.

Smooth Filling:

• For a creamy, lump-free filling, use a food processor or a hand mixer to blend the yolk mixture. This ensures a smooth texture that's easy to pipe or spoon into the egg whites.

Balancing Flavors:

• Since Greek yogurt has a natural tanginess, you can skip adding extra acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice. This keeps the flavor balanced and light.

Adjust Seasonings:

• Taste the filling as you go and adjust the seasonings to your preference. Since Greek yogurt is less salty than mayonnaise, you may need to add a pinch more salt to enhance the flavor.

Chill Before Serving:

• Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, making the eggs even more delicious and refreshing.

Healthy Garnishes:

• Opt for fresh, colorful garnishes like radish slices, microgreens, or pickled jalapeños. These add a pop of flavor and texture while keeping the dish light and nutritious.

Make Ahead:

• You can prepare the eggs and filling a day in advance. Keep the filling in a sealed container in the fridge and fill the egg whites just before serving to maintain the best texture and freshness.

Portion Control:

• Deviled eggs are naturally portioned, making them a great snack or appetizer. Keep them in moderation to enjoy a healthy, balanced treat.

Creative Variations:

• Feel free to experiment with the recipe by adding different herbs or spices. Dill, parsley, or even a touch of curry powder can add interesting flavors to your deviled eggs.
