Place the 8 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
While the eggs cook, lightly whisk the 2 extra large egg whites in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat until they are fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes.
Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell and peel under cold running water to help remove the shell more easily.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the cooked extra egg whites and add them to the bowl with the yolks.
Add Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the yolk mixture.
Mash the yolk mixture with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the finely chopped green onions.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the egg yolk mixture.
Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of parsley.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
