Deviled Eggs: The Kind the WHOLE Family Loves

Do you have dozens of beautiful colored eggs sitting in your fridge?

There are so many things you can do with hard boiled eggs, but the most common around this time of year is Deviled Eggs.

I LOVE Deviled Eggs.  I love how easy they are to make and eat. I love that they make such a perfect snack, but what I don't love is the all the mayo in typical recipes that makes them unhealthy. 

Enter the kid approved recipe I am sharing with you today! I didn't want to skimp on the flavor, but I wanted to eliminate the mayo, and the result was delicious!

 

 

I know, I know.  These eggs may not look the prettiest, but they definitely deliver on the flavor front! Besides, I think they look pretty awesome considering my 4 year old created them!  I added the ingredients but he did all the peeling, mixing and filling. :) Proud momma over here!

 

 

My kids always want to help in the kitchen, and this is perfect for little hands.  Even my 2 year old helped for a little bit, until she became to hungry and asked to just eat the egg she peeled. Haha! She loved it plain and she loved it deviled!

 

We started with our hard boiled eggs that we dyed for Easter.  My son and daughter helped peel the shells off.  Great job for little hands! I did go back over them to make sure there were no little shell pieces left.  This is why some of the eggs look a little lopsided, because on some of them more than the shell came off.  ;) But overall, they did a great job!

 

 

 

Next I cut them in half and put the yolks into a bowl.  Some of the eggs that were misshaped and not able to hold a filling were added to the mix.  Next I added the mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and Greek yogurt to the yolks.  I gave my son a fork and told him to mash all the yolks and mix everything together.  He loved getting to smash the yolks!

 

Lastly, using a spoon we scooped some of the filling and placed it back in the eggs.  Topped with an additional sprinkle of paprika! The swap of Greek yogurt for mayo cannot even be tasted! My kids loved eating them and loved helping me make them!  I am sure we will be making these again in the near future!

12 hard boiled eggs
