Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Base Filling
- 12 large eggs (hard-boiled)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons pickled onions (finely chopped)
Toppings and Garnishes
- 1 smoked sausage (cut into 24 thin slices and pan-fried)
- 6 cherry tomatoes (cut into 24 thin slices)
- 3 radishes (thinly sliced into 24 slices)
- 24 capers (drained and patted dry)
- 12 slices pickled onions (cut into 1″ slices)
- 24 pieces fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Everything But The Bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs (Stovetop method): Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit covered for 8 to 10 minutes to hard boil.
- Cool the Eggs: Transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them cool completely to stop the cooking process for easier peeling.
- Peel the Eggs: Crack the wider bottom ends of each egg against a hard surface. Hold each egg under cold running water and peel off the shells carefully.
- Prepare the Eggs (Instant Pot method): Place the stainless steel steamer basket in the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Arrange the eggs on the basket, seal the lid, and set the valve to closed. Set to manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally or quick release with caution. Immediately transfer eggs to ice bath to cool.
- Slice the Eggs: Once peeled, slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, grate the egg yolks to create a fluffy texture. Add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, kosher salt, smoked paprika, and finely chopped pickled onions. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Use a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off to pipe the yolk mixture evenly into each egg white half.
- Prepare Sausage Topping: Slice the smoked sausage into thin pieces, then pan-fry the slices until slightly crispy on both sides. Allow to cool.
- Garnish the Deviled Eggs: On each filled egg, add one slice of pan-fried smoked sausage. Place a few slices of fresh radish and cherry tomato alongside. Add a 1-inch slice of pickled onion and one caper on top.
- Add Herbs and Seasoning: Finish by decorating each egg with a small piece of fresh dill and a sprinkle of Everything But The Bagel seasoning. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For softer mayonnaise flavor, adjust mayo quantity to taste.
- Pickled onions add tanginess; substitute with finely chopped pickles if unavailable.
- Using fresh herbs like dill brightens the flavor and presentation.
- You can cook eggs using stovetop or Instant Pot methods as described based on your preference or convenience.
- If you prefer vegetarian, omit the smoked sausage and add extra veggies as toppings.
- Ensure eggs are completely cooled before peeling to avoid tearing the whites.
