Deviled Eggs with Greek Yogurt, Capers & Dill

Recipe by Charity Ferreira | Photo by Erin Kunkel

From bunny hops to baby showers, derby days to backyard brunches, it just isn’t a party without deviled eggs. This lighter, brighter version borrows that tang from Greek yogurt and gorgeous fresh herbs. To make hard cooked eggs easier to shell, let them chill in a bowl of ice water before peeling.

INGREDIENTS

6 large eggs
¼ cup (2 oz/60 g) plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon roughly chopped capers
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, dill, or chives, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Put the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by a couple of inches. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover, and let rest for 20 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse under cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel and halve the eggs lengthwise.

Gently extract the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a bowl and add the yogurt, capers, mustard, lemon juice, and about half of the herbs. Mash until creamy and well blended. Season to taste with salt, if you like.

Place the egg white halves on a large serving plate. Spoon the yolk mixture into the whites. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and freshly ground pepper, and serve. Or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 8 hours.

Makes 12 halves; 6 servings
