If you’re like me, you’ve never met a deviled egg that you didn’t like! But every time I eat one, I have to emotionally get past the fact that they contain mayo. No, thank you.

These Greek yogurt deviled eggs change everything! You get all the classic deviled egg flavors, with none of the mayonnaise.

Ingredients

a bowl of eggs, yogurt, a lemon, and spices on a white board

This recipe uses:

  • Hardboiled eggs
  • Greek yogurt – plain, and full fat if possible
  • Dried dill
  • Smoked Paprika
  • Tarragon
  • Kosher salt
  • Lemon juice or white vinegar

Here’s How to Make Them:

*I’ll walk you through it here with some photos and tips, and you’ll also find a printable recipe card at the bottom of the post with exact measurements, etc. You can also click “jump to recipe” to skip down.

Start by hardboiling those eggs! Stovetop – 15 minutes, or 5 minutes in the Instant Pot. See my instructions for Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs.

Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath for a few minutes. And then peel and rinse the eggs under cool water.

Once the eggs are cooled and peeled, it’s time to make the deviled egg filling. I prefer to use my food processor for the smoothest filling, but you can also mash/mix everything incredibly well with a fork. You do you, boo.

Next up, you’re going to fill or pipe those eggs. You can use a sandwich bag with the corner cut out, or a pastry piping bag if you’re feeling fancy. Pinkie out.

Place your Greek yogurt deviled eggs in the fridge for up to 12 hours if you’re not ready to serve them.

Or, put them on the table and pull your hands away quickly before someone accidentally rips them off in their excitement to grab the eggs.

How to Store

Store leftover deviled eggs in the fridge for up to 48 hours. If you know you want to store extras or are making these ahead of time, store the deviled egg mixture separate from the hard-boiled eggs.

If you use Greek yogurt that is not full-fat, the whey (liquid) in the yogurt may make the deviled egg mixture a bit watery. Simply pour the liquid into the sink, and then remix the filling before piping it into the deviled eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a substitute for mayonnaise in deviled eggs?

Absolutely! If you’re not a mayo fan like myself, using plain, full-fat Greek yogurt is a wonderful substitute. And then you have perfect no mayo deviled eggs.

How do you thicken deviled egg filling?

If you prefer a thicker deviled egg, add an additional 1-2 egg yolks to the mixture.

Is it ok to boil the eggs the day before making deviled eggs?

Absolutely; you know I love a meal prep hack.

Hardboiled eggs last for 1-2 days in the fridge, so I wouldn’t wait longer than two days after boiling them before I make them into deviled eggs.

Ok, but can I just use mayo with this recipe?

Yes, fiiiiine.

Sub out the Greek yogurt and use mayo (like our homemade Whole30 mayo) or if you’re feeling extra, use pesto mayo. Just don’t tell me about it, ok?

Pro Tips/Recipes Notes:

  • A firm yolk is preferred for the filling. I don’t recommend soft-boiled eggs for this recipe.
  • If you don’t have a fancy pastry bag or squeeze bottle to pipe in the yolk mixture, you can totally use a little ziploc sandwich bag. Simply put the filling in a bag, snip the corner off of one side of the bag and squeeze!
  • If you’re serving the eggs in a warm location, fill a lasagna pan with ice cubes and place the egg tray over the ice.
  • I love adding a tsp or so of Dijon mustard to these!

    3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp dried tarragon, 1/2 tsp dried dill, 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Pipe yolk mixture into each egg white and lightly sprinkle with smoked paprika.
    1/8 tsp smoked paprika

  1. Nice, thank you. I use the silicone trivet with heat-resistant handles and it’s so much better than the metal trivet that came with the Instant Pot.5 stars

  2. Absolutely delicious and I love the use of Greek yogurt instead of mayo! Bet they’d be sooo much better with your amazing fresh eggs though – consider me jealous!5 stars

  3. Oh whaaaat, you have a special devilled egg serving tray and everything? I am impressed! For a long time I thought devilled eggs were a thing I wouldn’t like, and then I finally tried them and was immediately filled with regret for all my wasted devil-free years. No more! I love this recipe, and although I’m not afraid of mayo, it’s fun (and delicious!) to switch things up with Greek yoghurt for a change.5 stars

  4. Deviled eggs are just so good…and such a good appetizer at Easter! I have a hankering to color eggs this year (last year I didn’t bother) so tomorrow I’m going over to my parents’ to dye eggs with my dad, and then we’ll make deviled eggs on Sunday. Top with a little Cavender’s Greek seasoning, and YUM!5 stars

  5. One magical thing I’ve found thanks to pinterest(one of many) is that you can take a boiled egg and cut it in half with a knife. No really.Look it up if you don’t believe me. Then it just comes out of the shell(I also use the baby spoon method). BEST THING EVER. Especially when my toddler wanted like 5,000 eggs during Easter.5 stars

  6. Homemade Mayo is on my list of “experiments” I must try. I am anxious to see yours! I have found one place that has deviled eggs I won’t eat….HyVee. They tasted like rotten fish! Otherwise, I LOVE them!5 stars
