These deviled eggs feature a creamy yolk filling enriched with nutty brown butter and topped with crunchy everything bagel seasoning, making a quick and easy appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chives or fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (240 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely (about 5 minutes), then peel carefully.
  3. While eggs cool, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Swirl occasionally and watch closely as it foams and turns golden brown with nutty aroma—about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Halve peeled eggs lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of the browned butter (reserve the rest). Mash and mix with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
  7. Drizzle the reserved browned butter gently over the filled eggs, then sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
  8. Add chopped chives or parsley if desired, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling set.

Notes

Use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling. Brown the butter carefully to avoid bitterness. For extra smooth filling, pass yolks through a fine sieve before mixing. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; add fresh everything bagel seasoning before serving again. Can substitute Greek yogurt for mayo for a lighter filling or use dairy-free alternatives to make it dairy-free.
