Lightened Up Deviled Eggs

Lightened Up Deviled Eggs Recipe l www.a-kitchen-addiction.com

Do you have your Easter menu all planned out yet? If you don’t, then you need to add these deviled eggs! Well, if you do, you should add them anyway!

They taste just as rich and creamy as traditional deviled eggs but are much healthier. Most deviled egg recipes call for anywhere between 1/3 – 2/3 cup mayo.

At 10 grams of fat per tablespoon, that is anywhere from 50-100 grams of fat that you are adding!

Lightened Up Deviled Eggs Recipe l www.a-kitchen-addiction.comI already use plain Greek yogurt in a lot of my baking as a substitute for oil and butter, but I’ve been wanting to do more substitutions in my cooking to make our food healthier without ruining the taste.

So, for these deviled eggs, I swapped out the mayo for plain Greek yogurt.

The result? A creamy deviled egg that tastes just as good (if not better) than a traditional deviled egg!

Plus, not only are you cutting out fat, but you are also adding protein and calcium!

I'm sorry but these were unedible. I think the vinegar was way too strong!

Yum! I tried these this weekend for Easter, and I am impressed! Very tasty. I had the boys try them and it was a pass, too! Little did they know that I traded out the mayo for Greek yogurt.

This is fabulous, Jessica! I don't care so much for deviled eggs but maybe with Greek yogurt I could get on board. Love it!
