Why You’re Going to LOVE these Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are one of my favorite go-to appetizers.. all year long! They are easy to make, economical, and offer make-ahead convenience. They are also nutritious, filling, and delicious. So adding them to any party menu lineup is pretty much a no-brainer.
I wanted a deviled egg recipe that didn’t call for mayonnaise.. but I still wanted all the creamy goodness that the mayo brings to the table. After lots of trial and error, I found what I believe to be the very best deviled egg recipe without mayo. They are creamy, tangy, and so flavorful. No matter what we have on the menu, you can always bet that these deviled eggs will be one of the first things to disappear from the table. This fairly straightforward recipe also lends itself to lots of delicious variations- and I’ve listed some of my favorites below! I know you’re going to love them as much as we do.
Ingredients for the Best Deviled Eggs:
- Eggs– Our favorite way to cook hard-boiled eggs is in the Instant Pot! They are so easy to peel- which makes for pretty deviled eggs.
- Mustard– We used yellow mustard, but this is really up to preference. You can also use dijon or spicy brown mustard.
- Greek yogurt– Plain Greek yogurt adds a nice tangy creaminess. We used full fat Greek yogurt.
- Lemon juice– We used fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled in a pinch.
- Salt & Pepper– To taste.
- Garlic powder
- Paprika– Optional, but delicious and pretty.
- Fresh Chives– For garnish.

- Mash the yolks together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
