Method: Healthier Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Hard Boil the Eggs
Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for about 12-14 minutes.
Step 2: Cool and Peel
After the eggs have sat, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. This makes peeling easier. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and roll it to crack the shell. Peel the eggs under running water for best results.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to mash everything until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites
Using a spoon or a pastry bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Be generous; you want them to look appealing!
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle the filled eggs with smoked paprika and top with fresh chopped chives if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Healthier Deviled Eggs!

For perfectly boiled eggs, consider using the Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs method, which is quick and yields easy-to-peel eggs.
Experiment with different spices in the filling, like garlic powder or cayenne pepper, for an extra kick.
These deviled eggs can be made ahead of time. Just keep them covered in the refrigerator until serving.
