Time 30m

Yield 12 eggs, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs
1 cup Greek yogurt or 1 cup regular yogurt
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup oil

Steps:

  • If using regular yogurt, line a strainer with a coffee filter, place over a bowl or cup, and place yogurt in the filter. Let drain for 4 hours or overnight. Discard the water and use the remaining yogurt in the recipe.
  • Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water so that it covers the eggs by 1 inch. Heat on stove until boiling. Remove from heat and cover with lid. Set timer to 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, immediately drain eggs and run under cold water or immerse in a ice bath. Peel eggs.
  • Slice eggs in half and scoop out yolks into a small bowl. Set the whites aside.
  • Smash the yolks with the back of a fork. Add 1/2 cup yogurt and mix well. Continue to add 1 tbsp of yogurt until desired consistency is reached.
  • Mix in sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and paprika.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. When oil is hot, test with a shallot; when the shallot instantly sizzles it is ready. Cook shallots in oil until browned. Drain on paper towels and salt lightly while still hot.
  • Using a small spoon, fill each egg half with the yolk mixture. Top each egg with one or two shallot slices immediately before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Tbsp ouzo liqueur
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp chopped fresh mint leaves
3 Tbsp mayonnaise

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the deviled eggs will be. Opt for organic, free-range eggs and use high-quality mayonnaise, mustard, and other seasonings.
  • Hard-boil the eggs perfectly: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny. Aim for a hard-boiled egg that is cooked through but still has a slightly soft yolk.
  • Chill the eggs before peeling: This will make them easier to peel and prevent the whites from sticking to the shell.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs: A dull knife will crush the eggs and make them difficult to fill.
  • Be creative with your fillings: There are endless possibilities for deviled egg fillings. Try classic fillings like mustard, mayonnaise, and paprika, or get creative with fillings like bacon, avocado, or blue cheese.
  • Garnish the deviled eggs before serving: A simple garnish can add a touch of elegance and make the deviled eggs more appealing. Try sprinkling them with paprika, chopped herbs, or grated cheese.
