Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon ouzo (optional)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon capers, rinsed and chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl.

Step 4

Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice water bath and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 6

Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, feta cheese, ouzo (if using), lemon juice, olive oil, dill, capers, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 7

Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the mixture into the cavity of each egg white half, filling generously.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top of the filled eggs with paprika and garnish with finely chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy these Greek-inspired deviled eggs!
