How to make Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs are a staple of family gatherings, but rarely do people make them just for shits and giggles. Well, I love shits and giggles, so here’s how to make Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs.

I’m a sucker for deviled eggs. If they’re on a restaurant menu, from burger joint to fancy restaurant, I’m going to order them. It doesn’t matter if it makes no sense in terms of the meal. If they’re available; they’re inside me. Luckily they’re easy to make at home as well, so you’ll never have to wait for the right menu again.

Do you need nine ingredients to make Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs? No, certainly not. You could just as easily only use four. Since we’re being honest here, there’s actually a 10th one, lemon juice, that I forgot in the picture. If you’re going to the trouble of making them though, why not be sure they’re the best of the best of the best (sir), like Will Smith in Men in Black?

I used Greek yogurt instead of mayo because it was five degrees outside that’s what I had on hand. It’s not a bad substitute, but definitely go for the real deal if you can. No matter how hard Miracle Whip or anyone else tries, there’s no equal when it comes to the wonders of mayo.

Back when I was a fool, I would mix stuff by hand. Now I let my mediocre (generous) food processor do all the work for me. It’s a big help when it comes to chopping the salmon to a near unrecognizable state.

You’ll be tempted at this point to just eat the filling without even bothering with the egg whites, but hold out. It all comes together too well to allow Satan’s temptation to stop you halfway.

See, those look awesome. Wasn’t it worth the wait? I don’t have one of the fancy trays built for Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs, but there’s nothing my penguin plates can’t accomplish.

If you’re wondering how good they were, I’m willing to disclose that I immediately ate 12 of them. I’m talking six eggs in about five minutes, and that’s on top of the three eggs I had for breakfast. Needless to say, I’m pretty well screwed if all those cholesterol commercials are true. It was totally worth it though.
