Ingredients

Scale

12 large eggs hard cooked, peeled and halved lengthwise

1/3 cup mayonnaise or homemade aioli

1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (or to taste)

1 tablespoon small capers (whole or chopped) plus a dash of the capers liquid (optional)

1/21 teaspoon finely chopped dill (optional)

1/4 teaspoon Rain’s Choice pure Vanilla Extract

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Smoked mild paprika

Fresh parsley

Instructions

Place eggs on a large plate or platter. Gently turn egg halves over and push out the yolks. Put three to four yolks at a time in a sieve, then mash yolks gently with a salad fork to press them through the sieve into a small bowl. If you prefer, skip this step and put yolks directly into the bowl and mash until smooth.

Add in mayonnaise, yogurt, and mustard and mix well. Add capers and caper brine if using. Add dill if using and vanilla, then salt and pepper. Taste and adjust flavors.

Using a teaspoon, add filling to egg whites, gently mounding the filling. Sprinkle each egg with a little paprika. Break off a small piece of parsley to decorate each egg, or chop parsley and sprinkle over the eggs.
