A quick and elegant snack featuring hard-boiled eggs filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese, smoked salmon, and fresh dill. Perfect for entertaining or a sophisticated homemade treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 oz (85g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp capers, drained and chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: extra dill sprigs or small pieces of smoked salmon

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit, covered, for 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Gently crack the shells and peel under running water if needed. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving plate.
  5. Add softened cream cheese to the yolks. Use a fork or hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in chopped smoked salmon, fresh chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, and chopped capers if using. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the salmon and cream cheese mixture.
  8. Garnish each deviled egg with a small dill sprig or a tiny piece of smoked salmon.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing for easier blending. Use older eggs for easier peeling. Filling can be pulsed in a food processor for silkier texture. Can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing.
