Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (low-fat)
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 4 strips center-cut bacon
  • 2 tbsp sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Place eggs in a steamer basket over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and steam for 13 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to ensure shells slip off effortlessly.
  3. Slice eggs lengthwise and remove yolks. In a medium bowl, mash the yolks with a fork until they resemble fine crumbs.
  4. Stir in the Greek yogurt, mayo, mustard, vinegar, and spices. Mix until the filling is a smooth, pale-yellow emulsion.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the whites or use a piping bag to create a swirling peak.
  6. Gently press a small piece of crispy bacon and a pinch of shredded cheddar into the top of each egg and garnish with sliced chives and smoked paprika.
