What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 6 large whole eggs
- 3 tablespoons plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Hard Boil the Eggs
Place the 6 eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat then immediately remove the pan from heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 11 minutes. Transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
Step 2: Prepare the Deviled Filling
Peel all the cooled eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Pop the yolks into a small bowl and arrange the white halves on a serving plate. Mash the yolks with a fork until no large lumps remain. Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until the filling is completely smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Transfer the yolk filling into a small zip-lock bag and snip a tiny corner off to make a quick piping bag. Pipe or spoon the filling back into each egg white half, mounding it slightly above the edge. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over each filled egg.
Step 4: Plate with Avocado and Serve
Halve and pit the avocado then scoop the flesh from each half and slice it. Arrange the avocado slices alongside the deviled eggs on the plate and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the avocado to prevent browning and add brightness. Serve immediately at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- Greek yogurt → light mayonnaise for a more traditional deviled egg flavor with slightly higher fat
- everything bagel seasoning → smoked paprika and flaky sea salt for a simpler but equally attractive garnish
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Overcooking the eggs past 11 minutes which creates a grey green ring around the yolk and a chalky dry texture
- Skipping the ice bath after cooking which makes the eggs very difficult to peel cleanly and tears the whites
