Love Deviled Eggs?

Looking for a simple easy deviled egg recipe?

I'm always amazed at the unwavering popularity of deviled eggs.

While you may consider them old fashioned, they are always one of the first things to disappear at a party, potluck, or picnic.

When it comes to deviled egg recipes, I'm with Marion Cunningham who states in her book, Learning to Cook with Marion Cunningham "Less is Best with Deviled Eggs."

There are lots of deviled egg recipes that call for fancy fillings and we've included a few here if you are in the fancy is better camp.

But try this simple deviled egg recipe recipe first and see if you don't agree that sometimes simpler is better.

Recipe Notes

I lightened the recipe by using part reduced-fat mayonnaise and part plain nonfat Greek yogurt, instead of all full fat mayonnaise.

To make the basic recipe work with simply filling use all plain nonfat Greek yogurt instead of part light mayonnaise.
