Deviled egg recipes — less devilish or with an extra kick

Less-Devilish Eggs

6 servings

Dill relish, shallot and Dijon go into the filling; the secret to this more healthful version of deviled eggs is replacing half the mayonnaise with nonfat Greek yogurt.

MAKE AHEAD: The eggs can be hard-cooked up to 1 week in advance; refrigerate in an airtight container and let the egg white halves come to a cool room temperature before serving. The filling can be prepared a day in advance; store in a gallon-size zip-top bag (for potential piping). It’s best to fill the eggs the same day they are served.

Ingredients

• 12 large eggs, hard-cooked

• 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

• 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise

• 1 Tbsp. minced shallot

• 1 Tbsp. dill relish

• 2 tsp. Dijon-style mustard

• 1 tsp. white wine vinegar

• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

• Aleppo pepper, for garnish

Steps

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Place the yolks in a food processor along with the yogurt, mayo, shallot, relish, mustard, vinegar, salt and black pepper; puree until smooth.

Make sure the egg white halves have no trace of cooked yolks. (You may wish to slice a thin layer off the bottoms of each one, for stability.)

Spoon or pipe about a tablespoon of the filling into each egg white half. Just before serving, sprinkle each one lightly with Aleppo pepper.

These are just a bit more tangy than your standard deviled eggs — a nice change of pace.

MAKE AHEAD: The eggs can be hard-cooked up to 1 week in advance; refrigerate in an airtight container and let the egg white halves come to a cool room temperature before serving.
