- ¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp pickle relish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Smoked paprika (for garnish)

Instructions
- Egg Preparation: Submerge eggs in a pot, covering them by 1 inch of water, then bring to a rolling boil and reduce to a gentle simmer for 12 minutes.
- Cooling Process: Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath using a slotted spoon, allowing them to rest for 10 minutes to stop cooking and ease shell removal.
- Peeling Technique: Crack egg shells gently, then peel under cool running water, ensuring smooth egg white surfaces.
- Yolk Extraction: Slice eggs lengthwise, carefully remove golden yolks into a mixing bowl, and discard egg white membranes.
- Filling Preparation: Whisk yolks with Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pickle relish, kosher salt, and black pepper until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Filling Application: Transfer mixture to a piping bag or plastic bag, then elegantly fill each egg white half with the seasoned yolk blend.
- Final Garnish: Sprinkle smoky paprika and finely chopped fresh chives over the deviled eggs for an elevated presentation and enhanced flavor profile.
