A delicious twist on classic deviled eggs featuring nutty brown butter and a crunchy everything bagel seasoning topping, perfect for parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking and cool for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter, then roll to crack the shell all over. Peel under running cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly but smooth.
  6. Add the browned butter (warm but not hot), 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Generously sprinkle 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning over the filled eggs. Add chopped fresh chives if using.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to brown butter to easily monitor color changes. Avoid burning the butter. Use an ice bath to make peeling eggs easier. Older eggs peel better than fresh. For a lighter filling, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or avocado mayo. Add toppings just before serving for maximum crunch.
