Print Recipe

A quick and indulgent twist on classic deviled eggs featuring creamy cream cheese, smoky lox, and crunchy everything bagel seasoning. Perfect for brunch or appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 oz (56g) smoked salmon (lox), finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Gently tap and roll eggs on the counter to crack the shell, then peel carefully.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly and smooth.
  4. Stir in softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until silky and well combined. Add a tiny splash of milk if mixture is too thick.
  5. Gently fold in finely chopped smoked salmon, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh dill if using. Taste and season with salt and pepper, keeping in mind the saltiness of the lox.
  6. Fill each egg white half generously with the creamy yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  7. Sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning and dill sprigs on top. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours.

Notes

Use eggs that have been refrigerated for at least a week for easier peeling. Add salt sparingly due to the saltiness of the lox. For a smoother filling, pulse the yolk mixture briefly in a food processor before folding in the lox. Prepare filling a day ahead and fill eggs just before serving. Variations include swapping dill for chives or tarragon, adding cayenne for heat, or omitting lox for a vegetarian version.
