Do you know how to make deviled eggs? They are such a quick and easy whole food snack. And this recipe is near impossible to mess up.
There are many variations of deviled egg recipes. This one is a classic. It calls for a combination of mayo, mustard and chives.
If you wish, you can substitute an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt for the mayo. I find I can eat so many of these, that lightening them up with Greek yogurt isn’t always a bad thing.
By the way, I’ve never been able to pipe the filling into the egg white. If you have that talent, it does make for a pretty presentation. However, I find a few shakes of paprika and a few chopped chives can cover up my lack of piping skills!
