Confession. I am not a fan of deviled eggs. Scrambled and poached are my eggs of choice. Especially with really good toast. Love ’em. But not deviled.
Nevertheless, my personal tastes aside, these little darlings are the most popular thing to make with colored Easter Eggs after the dying project is complete, so I wanted to offer you a healthier version to try if you’re so inclined! This recipe gets lightened up by using canola mayonnaise (and less of it, as some of it is replaced with plain Greek yogurt). These also have a nice little kick from Sriracha – good stuff.
Try them for yourself! I’m curious, though. Left to your own devices, what do YOU do with the colored eggs after Easter?

1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
