Equipment

  • food processor
  • large pot
  • plastic sandwich bag
  • Cutting board
  • paring knife / chef's knife
  • medium sized bowl

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions

Hard Boil Eggs

  • Bring your water to a boil and add a teaspoon of baking soda.
  • Add your eggs to the water and allow them to boil for 14 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are finished boiling, move them to a bowl of ice water and let them sit for 1-2 minutes.

Remove Shell and Halve Eggs

  • First, lay down a paper towel (makes shell clean up easy) over a hard surface.
  • Crack the egg on the paper towel and roll the egg gently against the hard surface until the entire egg shell is cracked. Peel off the shell membrane gently (leaving your egg white perfectly intact).
  • Using a paring knife, slice your egg in half long ways.
  • To easily separate the yolk from the white, (see the video above) pull the side of the white away from the yolk just enough to insert a spoon. Using the spoon, carefully remove the yolk from the egg white; it should separate in one easy swipe

Make the filling

  • After you’ve separated the yolks from the eggs, combine them in the processor with the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and white vinegar and mix until smooth. This will help you to create that perfectly smooth filling for your deviled eggs. 
  • Spoon the filling into a plastic sandwich bag and snip one of the corners to create a makeshift piping bag

Dispense the filling back into the eggs

  • Dispense the filling back into your eggs and sprinkle with paprika.
  • Deviled eggs keep for 3 days in a Tupperware container.
