Ingredients
- Hard-boiled eggs 2 large
- Greek yogurt 2 tbsp
- Dijon mustard 1 tsp
- Paprika 1/4 tsp
Method
-
Boil the eggs.
Place the 2 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to cook through.
Tip: Use older eggs for easier peeling. -
Cool and peel eggs.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell carefully, rinsing under water to remove small shell pieces.
Tip: Peel eggs under running water to help remove shells smoothly. -
Prepare the filling.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the yolks. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Tip: If the mixture is too thick, add a tiny bit more yogurt to reach a creamy consistency. -
Fill the egg whites.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites evenly. Arrange the filled eggs on a serving plate.
Tip: Use a plastic bag with a corner cut off as a piping bag for a neat presentation. -
Garnish with paprika.
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of paprika evenly over the filled eggs for color and a mild smoky flavor.
Tip: Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor if desired.
Pro tips
- Boil eggs with a pinch of salt or vinegar to help prevent cracking.
- Make the filling a day ahead and refrigerate for flavors to meld.
