Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons calamata olives, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

After the eggs have rested, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl, setting the whites aside.

Step 5

Add Greek yogurt, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the egg yolks. Mash the mixture with a fork until it's smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped calamata olives, capers, and fresh parsley. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the egg yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, dividing it evenly among them.

Step 8

Sprinkle the tops with paprika for garnish.

Step 9

Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled, garnish with additional parsley if desired.
