  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
Toppings bar
  • 6 slices bacon Cooked and crumbled
  • 2 oz smoked salmon Chopped
  • 0.25 cup pickled jalapenos Chopped
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 0.25 cup shredded cheddar
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives Chopped
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • paprika For topping

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Boil and chill the eggs
  1. Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water, then bring to a boil over high heat; cover, remove from heat, and let stand 12 minutes. Visual cue: the water should reach a rolling boil before you remove the pot.
  2. Chill the eggs in an ice bath for 10 minutes, then peel and halve lengthwise. Visual cue: fully cooled eggs peel cleanly for smoother halves.
Make the deviled filling
  1. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Visual cue: the filling should look glossy and lump-free.
Pipe and build the board
  1. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves and arrange them in the center of a large board. Visual cue: the filling forms a neat mound in each egg.
  2. Fill small bowls with bacon, smoked salmon, pickled jalapenos, everything bagel seasoning, shredded cheddar, fresh chives, and capers. Visual cue: each topping has its own bowl so guests can mix choices.
  3. Arrange the bowls around the eggs and add paprika and hot sauce for topping, then let guests build their own. Visual cue: a ring of colorful bowls frames the deviled egg center.

Notes

For the smoothest filling, mash yolks thoroughly until no grainy bits remain before adding the mayonnaise mixture. Store assembled components separately: refrigerate filled eggs in an airtight container up to 3 days, keep topping bowls chilled up to 3 days, and assemble the board right before serving; freezing is not recommended. Dietary swap: use olive oil mayonnaise (or a plain vegan mayonnaise) to make the filling dairy-free while keeping the same seasoning balance.
