If you’re looking for deviled eggs without mayo, this recipe has you covered. Instead of the usual mayo-based filling, these eggs get their creamy texture from Greek yogurt, giving them a lighter, tangy flavor while keeping all the rich, savory goodness. A little Dijon mustard, a dash of paprika, and the right seasoning make these just as satisfying as the classic version. Whether you need a healthy snack, a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or a quick high-protein bite, these are an easy and delicious choice!
I’ve always loved deviled eggs, but I wanted a version that felt a little lighter without losing that creamy, flavorful filling. The classic recipe usually calls for mayonnaise, but I knew Greek yogurt could do the job just as well—if not better. It has the same richness but with a slight tang that makes the flavors pop even more. Plus, it’s packed with protein, making these a great option for a snack that actually keeps you full.
Swapping out mayo for Greek yogurt was the easy part, but I wanted to make sure the texture stayed smooth and velvety. After a few tests, I found that mashing the yolks really well before mixing in the yogurt was the key to getting that perfect consistency. A little Dijon mustard added just the right amount of zip, while the paprika brought in a subtle warmth. With a sprinkle of extra paprika on top, they looked just as good as they tasted.
The best part about these deviled eggs is how simple they are to make. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week, putting together a snack plate, or bringing a dish to a gathering, they come together in minutes with just a few basic ingredients. And if you like to mix things up, you can easily customize them with fresh herbs, a little crunch from chopped pickles, or even a touch of hot sauce for some heat.
How to Make Healthy Greek Yogurt Deviled Eggs Without Mayo
Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon paprika + extra for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Step By Step Instructions
- Peel boiled eggs and carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add Greek yogurt, mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the yolks.
- Mash everything together with a fork until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If needed, mix a little longer to remove any lumps.
- Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative look, or simply use a teaspoon to fill the egg whites evenly.
- Arrange the filled eggs on a serving plate. Sprinkle with extra paprika for a pop of color and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Tips and Tricks
- Mash the Yolks Until Completely Smooth – For the creamiest filling, take your time mashing the yolks before adding the Greek yogurt. Any lumps will make it harder to get that velvety texture. If you want an extra smooth result, try using a food processor instead of a fork.
- Adjust the Greek Yogurt to Your Liking – If you prefer a richer, thicker filling, start with less Greek yogurt and add more as needed. For a lighter, fluffier texture, a little extra yogurt can help. Full-fat Greek yogurt will give the best consistency, but you can use low-fat if you prefer.
- Get Creative with Garnishes – A sprinkle of paprika is a classic touch, but you don’t have to stop there! Try topping your deviled eggs with fresh herbs like chives or parsley, a dash of hot sauce for heat, or even a little crispy bacon for extra flavor.
I hope you give these deviled eggs without mayo a try and love how simple and flavorful they are! They come together in no time and are perfect for anything from a quick bite to a party platter. Let me know if you try any fun variations—I’d love to hear your favorites! xoxo -Olivia
