    Deviled eggs are an American favorite, and this version with canned tuna is one of the more popular varieties. I have been loving making these as an easy midday snack on lazy weekends, or even serving them with some bread or a side salad as a larger meal.

    🥘 Ingredients

    To make these deviled eggs with tuna you will need hard boiled eggs (or raw eggs to boil!), canned tuna, Greek yogurt, dill and black pepper.

    🔪 Instructions

    Prepare the hard boiled eggs. You can boil eggs using the traditional stove top method, or make air fryer hard boiled eggs.

    Boiled eggs with the yolks removed, and a bowl containing the yolks on the side.

    Slice the eggs in half lengthways, and scoop out the egg yolks. Mash them together in a separate bowl.

    Add canned drained tuna, dill, black pepper and Greek yogurt to the egg yolks, and stir to combine everything.

    Add a spoonful of the tuna egg yolk mixture into the egg yolk holes of the hard boiled eggs. Garnish with some dill on top, and serve!

    💭 Top tips

    Here is how you make perfect deviled eggs with tuna:

    • Use canned tuna in brine, water or oil. Make sure to drain off the liquid completely before you use the fish.
    • The eggs have to be very hard boiled. If the yolks are slightly soft or wet, the filling will be wet and have the wrong texture.
    • Feel free to change the seasoning to suit your preferences!

    🥗 Serving suggestions

    Deviled eggs are often served as a snack, or as a part of a picnic, BBQ or potluck buffet.

    You can also serve these delicious egg finger foods with a side salad for a quick and easy cold meal; perfect for hot summer days.

    🍲 Leftovers

    Leftover deviled eggs with tuna can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. I do not recommend freezing them, as frozen boiled eggs tend to get very rubbery.
