Print Recipe

These deviled eggs combine creamy yolk filling with smoky salmon and crunchy everything bagel seasoning, perfect for brunch, parties, or an easy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably full-fat)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (approx. 3 cups/700 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes).
  2. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 10 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell and peel under running water.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. Use a fork or potato masher to break up the yolks until smooth.
  6. Mix in 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and the finely chopped smoked salmon. Stir until well combined. Fold in 1 tablespoon fresh dill if using.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Sprinkle each filled egg with about ⅓ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning.
  9. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and filling firm up slightly.

Notes

Use eggs at least a week old for easier peeling. Chill filled eggs before serving for best texture. Add everything bagel seasoning just before serving to keep it crunchy. For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo. Press yolks through a fine sieve for extra smooth filling. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent greenish yolk rings and sulfur smell.
