Everything Bagel Deviled Eggs (Printable)

Tangy cream cheese filling in deviled eggs, topped with everything bagel seasoning—ideal for brunch or appetizers.

# What you'll need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

→ Filling

02 - 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
06 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Topping

08 - 1 1/2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
09 - Extra chopped chives, for garnish (optional)

# Method:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 2.5 cm (1 inch). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat; once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
02 - Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water; chill for about 5 minutes to stop cooking. Tap and roll each egg to crack the shell, then peel carefully under running water.
03 - Slice eggs lengthwise and gently lift out yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
04 - Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped chives. Stir or whisk until smooth and creamy; season with salt and pepper to taste.
05 - Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half, dividing it evenly among the 12 halves.
06 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the filled halves and top with additional chives if desired.
07 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. If chilling, bring to serving temperature straight from fridge or allow 5 minutes at room temperature before plating.

# Expert Advice:

  • This is quite literally brunch's best-kept secret—each bite delivers the nostalgia of a bagel without the crumbs.
  • The creamy filling swirled with chives and tangy lemon transforms a humble egg into pure party fuel.
02 -
  • If you try to peel eggs before they are fully cooled, you'll end up with pitted whites that stubbornly cling to the shell.
  • Mixing the yolks while they're still slightly warm makes the filling smoother and helps flavors mingle.
03 -
  • Letting the eggs come to room temperature before boiling helps prevent cracking in the pan.
  • Hold back some everything bagel seasoning to add just before serving for maximum crunch and aroma.
