It is no secret that Fueling a Southern Soul has become somewhat of a hub for all types of deviled egg recipes. Bacon and cheddar deviled eggs ... I got you. Deviled eggs with southern pimento cheese ... yep, we have that too. Have a craving for a deviled egg topped with a bacon jam? You guessed it - we have that recipe too!

So, why not fancy these eggs up a bit and play on the flavors of smoked salmon and dill? I didn't see a reason not to. So I took the base of our ever-so-popular plain ole southern style deviled egg and topped her with a cute bite of salmon and a beautiful sprig of fresh dill.

My husband and friends gobbled these up immediately, and I hope you enjoy them just as much!

Prepping deviled eggs with smoked salmon and fresh dill. — Place an edge down inside the filling so they delicately kinda stand up. Then, place a small sprig of dill next to the salmon to finish the garnish.

⭐️PRO TIP ⭐️ Smoked salmon can usually be found in the specialty area of your grocery's deli. Costco sells it, although it will be a larger amount than this recipe calls for so you will have a lot leftover to snack on or use for another recipe. For this specific shoot I did, I found a 3 ounce package from Trader Joes that was the perfect amount for this recipe. I had just a little leftover I personally ate the next day so nothing was wasted or that I had an amount that was too much.

Instructions

Hard Boiled Eggs

Place 6 eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Place on burner and turn to high heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, start a timer for 10 minutes.
Once the 10 minutes are up, remove from heat and pour out the hot water. Fill the pot with ice and refill it with cold water.
Leave to cool for 20 minutes until the eggs are completely cool.
Gently crack the shell and peel it completely off.
Store in an airtight container if prepping beforehand. If not, continue on below.

Filling

Slice each hard-boiled egg down the middle longways, placing the yolk into a bowl. Set egg whites aside for later.
Using a fork or hand mixer, mash all egg yolks until they are mostly smooth with no lumps remaining.
Add in mayo, cream, and Dijon mustard with spices, and continue to mix until smooth and creamy.

To Assemble

Using a spoon or a piping bag, evenly fill each egg white with the yolk filling. Making sure to add a large amount to each.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon on top by sticking one of the edges into the filling so it will stick upright, and then add a small sprig of dill next to it.
Place on a platter and enjoy right away or place into the fridge until serving!

Notes

Deviled eggs can be made up to a day ahead of time. Store in the fridge, tightly covered. Wait to top with salmon and dill right before serving for maximum freshness.
Hardboiled eggs can be made up to 2-3 days ahead of time, keeping peeled and whole until it's time to make the filling.
