Deviled Eggs make a delicious snack and it’s a great way to use up some hard boiled eggs.
I like to make a bunch of these ahead of time and leave them in the fridge for a “quick grab” through out the week. I’m telling you guys, doing a little “pre-preppin” is half the battle when it comes to sticking with a healthy diet during the week. It’s just a great way to set yourself up for success!
Although I do sub two thirds of the mayo out for plain Greek yogurt, I can’t resist but to keep just one tablespoon of the real-deal mayo (I really like mayo!) BUT if you prefer, you can skip the mayo and use all Greek yogurt instead. It will definitely work.
I also mention a few prenatal nutrition tips in this video, so if you’re preggers, you might pick up a couple good tips from this QuickBite.

Thanks Dani! I imagine you could use the recipe for egg salad too and just chop the whites, add some celery…. I love egg salad sandwiches, but stopped eating them because of all the mayo. I think I’ll cut it with the yogurt and see how that goes! Thanks!

Dani, you look great! Beautiful mommy glow about you, and it’s nice to see you in a video again. That must mean you’re not as nauseated anymore by being in the kitchen, which is awesome news! I love deviled eggs too and I like your greek yogurt substitution; probably saves a TON of calories. If I make my own yogurt at home, can i use that? Is there a difference between regular yogurt and greek yogurt?
Dani says
Annie – I love egg salad and you could definitely adapt this recipe!
Bunny – Thanks. I feel SO much better… just like my old self;). The big difference b/t greek and regular yogurt is that Greek yogurt is strained so it is extra thick and creamy. This is why it makes such a great substitute for rich creamy ingredients like mayo and sour cream. Regular yogurt may be a bit too thin, but hey… it’s worth a try!

I just found your site the day before Easter, looking for a healthier Deviled Egg (because I knew if I made them with all that mayo, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy them!). I was so glad to find this recipe, it was perfect! My whole family loved them, except my father-in-law, who said he could taste the yogurt. This will be my standard deviled egg recipe from now on, thank you!
I also used your directions on how to boil an egg, and they came out great!
