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!

I 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!
