๐ฅ12 Unconventional (But Delicious) Deviled Egg Fillings
Culinary curveballs that won't get you banned from brunch.
1. Avocado & Lime ๐ฅ๐
A creamy twist on the classic. The avocado adds richness, the lime brightens everything up. Think guacamole meets deviled eggโyes, please.
2. Smoked Salmon & Dill ๐๐ฟ
Silky, smoky salmon folded into the yolk mix, topped with a sprig of fresh dill. Itโs like a bagel brunch in a single bite.
3. Curry Powder & Greek Yogurt ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ
Swap the mayo for tangy Greek yogurt and add a dash of curry powder for a lightly spiced, protein-packed upgrade.
4. Pesto & Parmesan ๐ฟ๐ง
A swirl of basil pesto and a sprinkle of grated Parm turns this egg into a tiny Italian vacation. Rich, herby, and totally addictive.
5. Roasted Red Pepper & Feta ๐ฅ๐ง
Smoky-sweet red peppers blended with salty feta cheese = bold flavor with a Mediterranean twist. Bonus: theyโre super colorful.
6. Kimchi & Scallions ๐ถ๏ธ๐ง
Chop up some mild kimchi and fold it into your filling for a spicy, funky, probiotic-powered bite. Garnish with scallions for crunch.
7. Bacon & Maple Dijon ๐ฅ๐
Crispy bacon crumbles + a touch of maple syrup + Dijon mustard = sweet-salty-savory heaven. Itโs brunchy, itโs balanced, itโs a winner.
8. Sriracha & Pickled Ginger ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฃ
Inspired by sushi flavors, this one brings heat and tang. Great with a touch of soy sauce in the filling for umami depth.
9. Crab Meat & Lemon Zest ๐ฆ๐
A coastal twist! Fresh crab folded in with yolks, a bit of lemon zest, and maybe a dab of Old Bay. Impressively fancy with minimal effort.
10. Sun-Dried Tomato & Goat Cheese ๐ ๐
Rich, tangy, and umami-packed. The goat cheese makes the filling extra creamy, and the tomatoes bring that deep, savory-sweet note.
11. Zaโatar & Tahini ๐ง๐ฐ
A Middle Eastern spin: sesame-rich tahini replaces the mayo, and a sprinkle of zaโatar adds a citrusy, herby punch. Earthy and elegant.
12. Everything Bagel Seasoning & Cream Cheese ๐ง ๐ง
Skip the toastโjust blend the yolks with cream cheese and top with that magical everything mix. Itโs brunch in a bite.
๐งโ๐ณ Bonus Tips:
Use a piping bag (or a ziplock with the tip cut off) for next-level presentation.
Add a fresh herb or tiny pickle slice on top to make them look as good as they taste.
Donโt skip the salt and acidโa pinch of salt and splash of vinegar/lemon juice make a big difference!
