Method
 

Method: Healthier Deviled Eggs
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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!
