These creamy smoked salmon deviled eggs with everything bagel seasoning are a quick, easy, and elegant appetizer combining smoky fish, silky egg yolks, and a crunchy seasoning for a perfect flavor balance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons plain cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning, for sprinkling
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and cool for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel carefully. Rinse under cool water if needed to remove bits of shell. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Slice each egg lengthwise in half. Remove the yolks carefully and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving plate.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped fresh dill. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the finely chopped smoked salmon. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Spoon or pipe the creamy salmon yolk mixture evenly into the egg white halves.
  8. Sprinkle 1 to 2 teaspoons of everything bagel seasoning evenly over the filled eggs.
  9. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly.

Notes

Pat smoked salmon dry if oily before chopping to avoid greasy filling. Do not skip lemon juice to balance richness. Prepare filling and egg whites separately if making ahead, then assemble just before serving. Add everything bagel seasoning right before serving to keep it crunchy.
