deviled eggs recipe with smoked salmon and capers

Lately in my house there has been a dramatic switch from oatmeal for breakfast to bagels with cream cheese and salmon. Quite the change but still delicious along with a daily scrambled egg. I think the idea came from a vacation we took where my son had a salmon bagel with cream cheese and loved it! 

So why turn the classic bagel into these easy deviled eggs? Because the bagel doesn’t have the creamy filling that you can only find in deviled eggs. And especially in these eggs, which are filled with soft yolks, crème fraîche, chives, and mayonnaise! Deviled eggs are much lower in carbohydrates than a bagel, which is helpful if you’re watching carbs or doing keto. I topped my deviled eggs with capers, smoked salmon, chives and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning to remind me of the bagel flavors.

Making Easy Deviled Eggs

Because eggs are almost 100% of this recipe, it makes sense to use the best. Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs are free range, meaning that the hens are allowed to roam free and do exactly what they were born to do: produce amazing eggs with golden yolks! Pete and Gerry’s partners with small family farms that are Certified Humane and follow the highest standards of animal treatment. Once you taste these smoked salmon deviled eggs, you’ll realize how important it is to use quality eggs.

The recipe is simple and can be made ahead of time; just leave the filling of the eggs to the last minute. All that requires is mixing the yolks, crème fraîche, chives and mayonnaise together until it becomes a creamy consistency. Usually I’d use sour cream, but the crème fraîche is very creamy and really takes these eggs to a new level! 

FAQ’s about this recipe

How Long Do I Boil My Eggs?

I recommend boiling for eight minutes and then running them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Once they are cool enough to handle, you can begin to peel them.

Storing Boiled Eggs

After peeling the eggs, keep them in a sealed container or zip lock bag in the refrigerator and eat within 4 days. I love just grabbing them and dusting with some salt and pepper and eating them like that! They make great protein snacks anytime through the day.

What Else Can I Top My Deviled Eggs With?

The list is endless! Deviled eggs are amazing with almost everything in my opinion. Some of my favorites have been these Hot Cheeto eggs and Elote Corn deviled eggs. If you have a favorite food, you can probably make it into some form of deviled egg!
