A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe featuring a creamy filling topped with crunchy everything bagel seasoning and festive smoked paprika, perfect for patriotic celebrations and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat (about 10 minutes). Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 10 minutes. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on the counter and peel off the shell under running water if needed.
  3. Using a small knife, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the hollowed egg whites on your serving platter.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Fill generously but avoid overflow.
  6. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over all filled eggs. Then dust with smoked paprika. Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped fresh chives for a pop of green.
  7. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and toppings stick. Serve chilled.

Notes

Use eggs about a week old for easier peeling. Adding a teaspoon of baking soda to boiling water can help with peeling. If filling is too thick, add milk or more mayonnaise one tablespoon at a time. For a spicy twist, add cayenne pepper or Sriracha to the filling. Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid making too far in advance to keep topping crunchy.
