Less-Devillish Eggs (Makes 24 halves and serves 6)

Dill relish, shallot and Dijon go into the filling; the secret to this more healthful version of devilled eggs is replacing half the mayonnaise with non-fat Greek yoghurt.

MAKE AHEAD: The eggs can be hard-cooked up to 1 week in advance; refrigerate in an airtight container and let the egg white halves come to a cool room temperature before serving. The filling can be prepared a day in advance; store in a gallon-size zip-top bag (for potential piping). It's best to fill the eggs the same day they are served.

12 large eggs, hard-cooked

1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yoghurt

1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon minced shallot

1 tablespoon dill relish

2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Aleppo pepper, for garnish

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Place the yolks in a food processor along with the yoghurt, mayo, shallot, relish, mustard, vinegar, salt and black pepper; purée until smooth.

Make sure the egg white halves have no trace of cooked yolks. (You may wish to slice a thin layer off the bottoms of each one, for stability.)

Spoon or pipe about a tablespoon of the filling into each egg white half. Just before serving, sprinkle each one lightly with Aleppo pepper.
