Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs always disappear in a flash when I bring them to parties. This classic appetizer has lots of fresh flavor, with smoked salmon, goat cheese, and chives.
If you’re looking for deviled eggs without mayo and with great flavors, this is just the recipe for you!
People seem to either love deviled eggs or not be on board at all. Personally, I only like deviled eggs if they have more going on than the usual preparation with mayonnaise and a dusting of paprika.
For these deviled eggs, there’s smoked salmon as the star flavor, goat cheese and sour cream for richness, and lemon and chives for brightness and freshness. Totally delicious!
Everyone always loves these when I bring them to parties.
AND they have the bonus of being a cold item, so you can make them ahead of time and just grab them from the fridge before you head out the door.
I always thank myself later when I make a “grab and go” dish because otherwise it can be really stressful when I try to make something at the last minute. These are so easy for company!
How to Make Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs:
Hard-boil 8 eggs, then remove all the yolks to a bowl:
If peeling hard-boiled eggs is difficult for you, you have to try this easy-peel method. So many people swear by it and it always works well for me.
Next add some finely chopped smoked salmon, sour cream, soft goat cheese, lemon juice, chives, salt, and pepper:
Mix it all together to combine:
Either pipe the filling into the eggs, or use one of these cookie scoops instead.
In case you couldn’t tell, I think using the scoops is a whole lot easier:
However, piping the filling is neater and can be done in pretty designs. The choice is yours!
Sprinkle some extra chives on top before serving:
Smoked Salmon Spread is another great appetizer to try, and has a similar flavor profile but can be made in 5 minutes. I also love a simple Baked Salmon for a main course. Enjoy!

LOOKS DELICIOUS! Thank you!
OH my God, looks so good. I love Salmon.
These were SO good. They disappeared fast.
I can not any seafood, could I omit the salmon and use bacon instead?
Yes that sounds good!
