Low Calorie Deviled Eggs

This recipe is a new version of the original deviled eggs recipe. It’s quick and easy to prepare, visually pleasing, and tasty. A serving of deviled eggs (two egg halves) made with this recipe provides a good source of protein, B vitamins, selenium, and other healthful compounds. All for only 84 calories! The secret to keeping the calorie count lower than the original recipe is to use low fat plain yogurt to moisten the mashed yolks instead of the usual higher fat mayonnaise.

About 15 minutes to prepare

Serves 2 (2 egg halves per serving)

2 Hard-Boiled Eggs
1 Tbsp. plain low fat yogurt
1/4 tsp. lemon juice/lime juice
1/4 tsp. mustard (gourmet mustard works best)
pinch of salt and pepper
dash of paprika for a touch of extra color

1. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
2. Remove the yolks and place in a small bowl.
3. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the other ingredients and mix well.
4. Refill the egg whites with about a tablespoon or so of the yolk mixture.
5. Sprinkle with paprika for added color
6. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.
