Turkish Deviled Eggs


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 deviled egg halves (6 whole eggs) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or labneh (for extra creaminess)
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sumac (adds a citrusy tang)
  • ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or red pepper flakes)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for extra richness)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • Pomegranate seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Boil and Peel the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes. Peel carefully and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Yogurt Filling

Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, salt, sumac, and Aleppo pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 3: Pipe or Spoon the Filling

Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the creamy yogurt mixture. Arrange them on a serving plate.

Step 4: Prepare the Spiced Butter Drizzle

In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the smoked paprika and olive oil. Let it warm for about 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Drizzle the warm spiced butter over the deviled eggs. Sprinkle with fresh dill, extra sumac, and pomegranate seeds for a beautiful pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
