Ingredients
Eggs and Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Extra dill for garnish
Instructions
- Boil Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to gently place the eggs into the water using a skimmer. Increase the heat back to high and cook for 14 minutes to ensure hard-boiled eggs.
- Chill and Slice: Prepare an ice water bath. After boiling, transfer the eggs to the bath to cool completely. Once chilled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop Yolks: Carefully remove the yolks from the egg whites and place the yolks in a small bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate.
- Prepare Filling: To the yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, finely chopped shallot, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill Egg Whites: Using a spoon, scoop the yolk mixture back into the hollows of each egg white half.
- Garnish: Top each deviled egg with a small piece of smoked salmon, a sprinkle of capers, and a few sprigs of fresh dill for a visually appealing and flavorful finish.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than very fresh eggs.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to achieve your preferred creaminess level.
- Substitute capers with finely chopped chives for a milder flavor.
- Keep the deviled eggs refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
