I’m sure everyone will be really happy to have them at potlucks. We love them at breakfast too. Not only in the morning. I mean they are great when we have breakfast for dinner during weeknights. Super easy to prepare, super tasty and nutritious. Do you like having breakfast for dinner? We either make Turkish Eggs Cilbir or deviled eggs without mayo whenever we don't feel like cooking a heavy meal during weeknights.

How To Make Deviled Eggs Without Mayo
The classic recipe for deviled eggs mostly call for mayonnaise, but I wanted to make a healthier version so that we could eat as many as we wanted. Deviled eggs with Greek yogurt make a great alternative to that classic recipe.
- First, cook the eggs. To do this, place the eggs in a sauce pan, pour cold water over them. Add in a pinch of salt and bring it to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Transfer them into a bowl with cold water and peel.
- Second, halve the eggs and remove the yolks. Put them in a bowl. Just because I love yolks, I add an extra yolk in the bowl. But this is completely my personal taste.
- Third, prepare the filling. Sprinkle salt, cumin and black pepper over the yolks. Add in olive oil, mustard, Greek yogurt, parsley and lemon or lime juice. Mix well with a fork.
- Fourth, share the filling into egg whites using a teaspoon.
- Finally, garnish each with diced red bell pepper and chopped parsley.
Notes On This Deviled Egg Recipe Without Mayo
To add a little more flavor to these deviled eggs, I add a little lemon juice and mustard. They give a good tanginess to the eggs.
As for the spices, I just use cumin and black pepper in the filling. I don't want my deviled eggs too spicy because I love to feel that creaminess rather than spices.
I saw deviled egg recipes that use chopped onion in the filling, but I don’t want to deform the creaminess. I sometimes serve onions along with the eggs. Also, if you love some heat, it’s a good idea to use some green chili peppers for garnish. Some fresh arugula or other herbs on the side complete the serving wonderfully.
I’m sorry this recipe is not for you if you are looking for deviled eggs with mayo, but believe me these are equally tasty and you can never know whether you love them unless you try. And believe me you will never want to use mayonnaise again once you taste these deviled eggs without mayo or sour cream.

The flavor is good, but I would highly recommend starting with a much smaller amount of yogurt than the recipe calls for. Add the yogurt a little bit at a time until the desired consistency is reached. I added 2Tbsp of the yogurt to start and my filling was extremely runny. I sprinkled on a little Paprika at the end for color.

Hello! I am planning on making this recipe for Christmas! I have standard yellow mustard. Do you think Dijon is needed?
Sounds delicious!!!
Zerrin & Yusuf says
Hi Alexis, you can use yellow mustard. Dijon is not a must, just a preference.
We wish you a merry Christmas!
Maria says
I'm so happy to find this recipe since I don't like mayo
APG says
Does the recipe call for dry mustard, or prepared?
Yusuf says
No not dry mustard. Use dijon mustard sauce.
Carol says
Can these be made with regular plain yogurt or must it be Greek yogurt to get fuller, thicker consistency
Zerrin says
Hi Carol! You are right. The filling will be thinner if you use regular yogurt and thus it will be harder to place it in the egg whites.
Adina says
Lovely eggs, I make them without mayonnaise often as well. And you are right, they are not only for Easter, in Germany they are a very popular fingerfood, you will find them at most celebrations as part of the buffet.
