A fun and nutritious twist on classic deviled eggs, blending fresh spinach into the creamy yolk filling with finely chopped ham for a kid-friendly, protein-packed snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup cooked ham, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chives or green onion, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
  3. Slice the cooled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving plate.
  4. Roughly chop 1 cup of fresh spinach. Place spinach in a blender or food processor with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
  5. Add the green spinach mixture to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mash and stir until combined and creamy. Stir in finely chopped ham. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the hollowed egg whites evenly with the green yolk mixture, mounding slightly over the edge.
  7. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives or green onions for color and a mild crunch. Optionally, dust with a pinch of smoked paprika or black pepper.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh spinach for best color and texture; frozen spinach can be used if thawed and excess water squeezed out. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt and use vegan mayo. To loosen filling, add extra Greek yogurt or a teaspoon of olive oil. Chill eggs before peeling to avoid sticky mess. Prepare up to a day ahead and keep refrigerated. Avoid freezing.
