Classic Angel Eggs Recipe

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

A simple and delicious appetizer, this angel eggs recipe is everything you love from the classic with a nicer name.

That’s right, the only difference between angel eggs and deviled eggs is the name! The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, making it the perfect finger food option for parties, potlucks, and BBQs.

What are Angel Eggs

Angel eggs are simply another term for the classic deviled egg. It’s the same creamy yolk filling in the center of an egg-white that we’ve enjoyed for years.

In this recipe, I make the filling with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It’s lighter, and I find the tanginess of the yogurt adds a pleasant contrast to the egg yolk and mustard.

Classic Angel Egg Ingredients

Nothing new to see here, just classic angel egg ingredients. 

  • hard-boiled eggs: no better time to check out my guide on easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs.
  • Greek yogurt or mayo: classic angel eggs are made with mayo. Greek yogurt is a lighter option, you pick! 
  • mustard: adds a tangy depth of flavor. 
  • salt & black pepper: for seasoning. 
  • paprika: adds a pop of color and smoky flavor. 
  • chopped parsley: optional, but it looks great on the finished angel eggs. You could also use chopped fresh chives or dill. 

How to Make Angel Eggs

Angel eggs are super easy to make, but before we go any further, check out this quick video so you can make sure your hard-boiled eggs have bright yellow yolks and shells that glide off.

  1. Boil the eggs
    Place eggs in a pan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it rest for 13 minutes. Drain, cool with water, peel the eggs and refrigerate until cold. 
  2. Prep the eggs
    Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise and transfer the yolk to a medium bowl. 
  3. Make the filling
    Mash the yolks with Greek yogurt or mayo, mustard, salt, and black pepper, until smooth. 
  4. Stuff
    Use a piping bag or large spoon to fill the center of each egg white half. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped parsley. 
  5. Serve
    Refrigerate the eggs for an hour before serving. Quickly grab a few and watch the rest disappear.
