Deviled eggs are a staple in our family for all holidays, events, and gatherings. Â They are a simple and easy appetizer to prepare and are always a hit! Â I try to shake things up with new flavors like with these Tzatziki Deviled Eggs!
These Tzatziki Deviled Eggs use the traditional flavors of a tzatziki sauce in the yolk mixture. Â I am NOT a fan of yogurt, but tzatziki is one of my favorite things! Â I was in Greece and found this amazing sauce everywhere I went. Â So I tried it, because I believe in trying new and different foods when you travel, and I fell in LOVE. Â Tzatziki does not taste like yogurt at all, thanks to all of the great flavors mixed in. Â Fresh cucumber, dill, lemon, and garlic make tzatziki shine.

Cooking and peeling hard boiled eggs can be….challenging.  You can see a couple of these eggs were “difficult.”  I do love to purchase the pre-boiled, pre-peeled eggs that you can find at your grocery store to make assembly even faster and the eggs a perfect shape.  They won’t have the bumps and divots that you see here! 😀
I topped off these eggs with Kalamata olive pieces, keeping with the Greek salad theme. Â You can also use tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, or nothing at all! Â The yogurt makes these Tzatziki Deviled Eggs extra smooth and creamy. Â Bright and fresh flavors make them perfect for spring and Easter, or as a lighter and fresher appetizer option.

Love these devilled eggs. Perfect for Easter.
Nice clicks.
Yogurt instead of mayo, I love that! I can never get enough of devilled eggs.
I do love tzatziki, so these are going to be favorites for me, I predict. Also, you cracked me up with your “difficult” eggs. So true that some just don’t want to be perfect!
Haha thanks, Dorothy! It gives them character 😀
What a great way to change up devilled eggs, and using the olive to garnish like that makes them look really cool!
I’m not a big fan of deviled eggs, but I love tzatziki. This is a recipe I would love. Can’t wait to try it!
