Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grilled corn, cooled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon feta cheese, crumbled
Garnishes
- Sliced radishes for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- Cook Off-Heat: Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes to cook through gently.
- Cool the Eggs: Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and Halve: Carefully peel the cooled eggs, then cut each egg in half horizontally to expose the yolks.
- Mash Yolks: Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl and mash them with a fork until creamy and smooth.
- Mix Filling: Add Greek yogurt, chipotle sauce, lime juice, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add Corn and Parsley: Fold the grilled corn and chopped parsley into the yolk mixture for texture and fresh flavor.
- Fill Egg Whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, mounding it generously.
- Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of each deviled egg. Optionally, add sliced radishes for crunch and extra visual appeal.
- Serve: Serve immediately, or chill for up to one hour before serving. Provide lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Grilled corn adds an authentic smoky sweetness reminiscent of Mexican street corn (elote).
- Using Greek yogurt keeps the filling creamy with a healthier twist compared to mayonnaise.
- The chipotle sauce provides a smoky heat; adjust the quantity to your preferred spice level.
- Chilling the deviled eggs allows flavors to meld and enhances the texture.
- Perfect as a party appetizer, picnic snack, or light lunch addition.
