These Lightened-Up Hot Honey Deviled Eggs with Crispy Prosciutto are a total flavor bomb that feels fancy but takes almost no effort. They are the perfect appetizer for when you want to impress without the stress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4–6 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh chives or flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Hard-boil the eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  3. Shock the eggs: Transfer hot eggs to ice bath using a slotted spoon. Let sit for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Crisp the prosciutto: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay prosciutto slices in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until deep red and crispy. Let cool on pan.
  5. Peel and halve the eggs: Tap cooled eggs to crack shells, peel under cold running water. Pat dry. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  6. Make the filling: Remove yolks and place in a bowl. Mash with a fork until fine crumbs. Add Greek yogurt, hot honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  7. Pipe the filling: Spoon mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag with corner snipped. Pipe into egg whites.
  8. Garnish and serve: Break crispy prosciutto into shards. Top each egg with prosciutto, drizzle with hot honey, and garnish with chives or flaky salt if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 hour.

Notes

For easiest peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old. The ice bath is crucial for easy peeling. Watch prosciutto closely as it burns quickly. Filling can be made a day ahead; add prosciutto just before serving.
