Kind of a Big Dill Deviled Eggs
Makes 12 deviled eggs
Ingredients:
6 hard-boiled eggs
4-6 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Kind of a Big Dill
Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
Directions:
Peel and halve the hard-boiled eggs. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Rinse the whites and set aside.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of the Greek yogurt, the Dijon mustard, and the Kind of a Big Dill. Add more Greek yogurt, if desired, for a less dense consistency. Transfer filling to a piping bag or ziploc baggie.
Cut the tip of the piping bag (or a corner of the ziploc baggie), and pipe the filling into the egg whites. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.
Make ahead: You can make this recipe up to 3 days in advance. Place the egg whites in an airtight container and fill with water before refrigerating. (The water will help prevent them from getting torn/smashed.) Refrigerate the filling in the piping bag.
