A simple yet special deviled eggs recipe featuring creamy filling with smoked salmon and a crunchy everything bagel seasoning topping, perfect for brunch or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel carefully. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add more mayo if mixture is too thick.
  5. Finely chop the smoked salmon and gently fold it into the yolk mixture.
  6. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg white halves.
  7. Generously sprinkle the tops of each deviled egg with everything bagel seasoning.
  8. Finish with a light sprinkle of freshly chopped chives.
  9. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use the off-heat boiling method with a timer to keep yolks creamy and tender. An ice bath stops cooking and makes peeling easier. Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid melting. Toast everything bagel seasoning briefly if stale to revive flavor. Pipe filling carefully to avoid spills. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
