Kitchen Gear

• Cutting board
• Sharp knife (adult needed) Small bowl
• Measuring spoons
• Fork
• Plate
• 2 teaspoons

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 1 teaspoon favorite seasoning
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• Paprika or finely chopped scallions, for topping

Instructions

1. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks (they’ll pop out if you push the white underneath them) and put the yolks in the bowl.
2. Add the yogurt, mustard, seasoning, and salt and mash with the fork until coarse or creamy, whichever you prefer. Taste the filling: it should be a little over-seasoned, since it’s going to flavor the bland whites. Does it need a pinch of salt or more seasoning? If so, add it and taste again.
3. Put the whites on a plate. Use one spoon to refill each egg half with the yolk mixture and the other to scrape the filling off the first spoon. Sprinkle the filled egg with paprika or scallions, if you like.
