A flavorful twist on classic deviled eggs featuring nutty brown butter and crunchy everything bagel seasoning, perfect for brunches, potlucks, or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (full-fat recommended or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (roughly 3 cups/700 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over high heat (about 8 minutes once boiling). Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop cooking and cool for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. Swirl the pan and watch carefully as the butter foams then turns a golden brown with nutty aroma (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning. Let cool slightly.
  4. Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  5. Add browned butter (warm but not hot), 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning to the mashed yolks. Whisk or stir vigorously until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives if using.
  6. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half evenly with the yolk mixture. Don’t overfill to avoid spilling.
  7. Sprinkle additional everything bagel seasoning and chopped chives over the filled eggs for a pop of color and extra crunch.
  8. Refrigerate deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes to let flavors meld and filling firm up slightly. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use eggs that have been refrigerated for about a week for easier peeling. Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or extra browned butter to loosen. Prepare up to 24 hours in advance and keep refrigerated. Use a piping bag for neat filling.
