A luxurious twist on a classic!

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 ounces smoked salmon, flaked
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks to a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until they’re well broken up.

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the yolks.

Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in the flaked smoked salmon, chopped dill, and chopped chives until well combined.

Spoon the yolk mixture evenly into the hollowed-out egg whites.

Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika on top of each deviled egg for garnish. Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

These deviled eggs are best made just before a party or gathering, as the smoked salmon adds a delicate flavor that’s best appreciated fresh. If you want a stronger smoked flavor, feel free to add more smoked paprika or use hot smoked salmon instead of regular.

Make sure to chill the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

You can also prepare the yolk mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a day, then fill the eggs just before serving. If you’re not a fan of dill, you can substitute it with chopped parsley or tarragon for a different twist.

Don’t overmix the yolk mixture, or it’ll become too dense and lose its creamy texture.

Finally, consider using edible flowers or microgreens as a garnish for an extra pop of color and freshness!
