creamy deviled eggs with red onion, capers + dill
Ummmmmmmmm these deviled eggs? I can’t get enough of them. I may have eaten half of them for breakfast.
But we’ll talk more about those eggs in a second. We have more important things to discuss… like a surprise baby shower!
I’m so glad I got to meet Stefanie in real life (with our other dear friend, Stephie… making us, yes, the three Ste(f)phs) a few months ago. Not only is she super talented and creative in the kitchen (I mean, how can you not want to eat things like Steak and French Fry Stir Fry or Bloody Mary Roasted Potatoes all day every day?), she is just as sweet and hilarious in person as she is on her blog. She also obliged to take on any of my own weird pregnancy questions (of which I have a billion because I’m a nut), so that makes her awesome times a billion. I just hope I get to see her in person again with her little babe once he arrives!
Until then, I’ll just have to talk about these deviled eggs and why they’re so good and why I wish I had an actual baby shower to bring them to because I know guests would love them. They’re creamy, thanks to the addition of Greek yogurt. They’re spicy, thanks to a dash of sriracha. And they have a great saltiness and crunch from the capers and onions. The dill just makes everything come together with its cool, mild flavor. It’s like a party in an egg, really.
I think deviled eggs get a bad rap for being too boring or too outdated, but the people who say that just haven’t tapped into all the possible flavor combinations a deviled egg can have. After making these, I was instantly inspired to make dozens of more flavors — which I would have done right away, if I hadn’t already used up the full dozen eggs we had in the fridge and it wasn’t rain/snowing outside (that’s a thing right now in Minnesota, by the way. I might cry about it). But rest assured, more deviled egg recipes will be coming your way some of these days. I just can’t help myself.
So enough of my rambling about eggs. Happy baby shower, Stef!

These look so good! I am obsessed with capers and well, anything with sriracha has my heart, so I’ll take a dozen, please 🙂
Yum the best way to eat the egg. That filling is so creamy and chilli would set these off!
I want to eat these at now!
These are goooorgeous!! Your red onion, capers, and dill are making me go crazy over these things ! I’d take that whole plate and go hide in a corner and keep ’em all to myself. Juuust kidding, I’d share one or two. Lovely being a part of this baby party with you! 🙂
I am a lover of deviled eggs, could eat them every single day. Your add of capers (my fave!) and smoked paprika, so smartie! What gorgeous pics! So pinned.
Major Deviled Egg lover here… these look too good..
Oh man! You are too sweet! I cannot wait for your baby questions! I friggen love deviled eggs! The addition of sriracha and Greek yogurt, yesssss! I wish I lived closer so we could eat these together and talk babies!
They look great! And just perfect for a baby shower! 🙂
I love deviled eggs — always have, always will. They are the perfect party food. Or anytime food, really. Your version with the capers sounds wonderful. I can imagine the briny taste must really enhance these!
I have this thing with deviled eggs. I can’t seem to eat just one. These look fab.
That filling sounds so much more fun than the usual. Restaurants around here (Boston) have actually had some deviled-egg trends going on lately.
When I was a kid I was banned from eating more than four deviled eggs since I’d eat them all before anyone could get their hands on them! Love the modern twist on these and really love that you used Greek yougurt!
I’m so, so glad you joined us for baby fun and Stef love! These deviled eggs…oooo boy they look amazing. Greek yogurt to make them super creamy? Oh dang, you know I’m using that trick from now on. Gawwwgeous. Feed me. Obviously this non-pregnant girl needs them, not the pregnant ones. 😉
