My children have always adored deviled eggs, but they find them even more delightful when I elevate the classic recipe with creative toppings and unexpected flavors. When I spotted wild smoked salmon at Trader Joe’s, I knew it would make the perfect centerpiece for this elegant twist on a timeless favorite.
As Jan Karon once said:
There is no such thing as too many deviled eggs.
I couldn’t agree more. Most mornings, I’m content with just two eggs for breakfast, but when I make these deviled eggs, my appetite instantly grows, and I find myself reaching for more. They’re simply irresistible, making it nearly impossible to stop at just one!
How To Cook The Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg
- Carefully set 6 eggs in the bottom of a medium-large saucepan.
- Pour cold water over the eggs, ensuring they are submerged with an additional 1-2 inches of water covering them.
- Turn your burner on medium-high heat, and bring the water to a full boil, uncovered.
- Once you’re at a full boil, remove from the heat, and place a lid on. Set a timer for 9 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, immediately put the eggs in an ice water bath to cool.

The Most Beautiful Spring Deviled Eggs Platter
Elevate everyday dining with beautiful, whimsical platters that make each meal feel like a special occasion. Instead of spending on frequent restaurant meals, invest in high-quality ingredients and serve them with elegance at home. Timeless platters from places like HomeGoods, Target, or Anthropologie add a touch of charm, making even the simplest dishes feel indulgent.
My egg platter came from Anthropologie, and you might be surprised to hear that they do offer affordable kitchenware options. I am fascinated by the Bistro set and own the salt and pepper shakers, and mug, and I have my eye on a few others. However, when I saw this Spring Garden Egg Platter my eyes lit up with excitement, and my husband bought it for me as a celebration of having a wonderful 9-month post-chemo check. I’m still cancer-free!

Lox Breakfast Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt any kind
- 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp finely diced pickles or dill relish
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Add-Ons
- 1 slice smoked salmon broken into small pieces
- 1 Tbsp capers
- 1/4 shallot finely diced
- sprinkling of dried or fresh dill
- Sriracha optional
- Everything But The Bagel Seasoning optional
Instructions
- Boiling The Eggs: Place 6 eggs carefully in the bottom of a large saucepan. Pour cold water over the eggs, submerging them with an additional 1-2 inches of water covering them. Bring to a full boil, uncovered. Once you're at a full boil, remove from the heat, and place a lid on. Set a timer for 9 minutes. When the timer goes off, immediately put the eggs in an ice water bath to cool.
- Peeling The Eggs: Once the eggs are completely cooled, crack the top and bottom of each egg on the counter. Then, place one egg at a time into a small cup. Place your hand over the top and gently shake the cup. Lastly, peel the shell off from the egg under cold water. This helps release the egg from the shell, and it will peel off easily. Repeat until all eggs are peeled.
- Cut each egg in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the yolk into a small dish.
- Add the yogurt, dijon mustard, pickles, salt, and pepper with the egg yolks. Stir to combine, making sure all the yolks are smooth and creamy.
- Place the egg whites on an egg platter or plate, and scoop 1-2 tsp of the filling into each cup.
- Top each deviled egg with a piece of smoked salmon, 1 caper, and a sprinkling of shallots and dill.
- Serve immediately. If preparing a day in advance, make the deviled eggs, but wait to top them with toppings the day of for a fresh presentation.
