Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp pesto
- 1 tbsp natural yogurt
- 1 sheet parma ham

Instructions
- Boil the eggs in a pan of rapidly boiling water for 9 minutes before plunging them into a bowl of ice water to cool.
- Carefully peel the eggs and with a very sharp knife cut them down the middle.
- Using a teaspoon carefully scoop out the yolks.

- Spoon a little pesto onto each egg before garnishing them each with a ham rose and a piece of chives before serving.
Notes
You can make these devilled eggs up to a couple of hours in advance, but be sure to bring them up to room temperature before serving.
