Deviled eggs are among the favorite appetizers at any buffet, whether it’s a fish, meat, or vegetarian menu.
They are prepared in a flash, often used as a last-minute recipe, always pleasing any type of guest.
They can be filled in many ways and decorated by creating particular shapes or elegant little bites.
To flawlessly succeed with the recipe, just follow a few simple tips, starting with choosing the raw materials, which should be of the highest quality.
Buy organic eggs from free-range chickens, and opt for wild-caught salmon: it’s more nutritious and less fatty than farmed salmon.
Then there’s the cheese, which should be soft and creamy, but with a neutral and delicate taste so as not to overpower the dish’s flavor.
And lastly, but no less important, the cooking of the eggs……..
To hard-boil them perfectly, to get dry and compact yolks, immerse them in cold water, boil for 8-9 minutes from the boil, and quickly run them under cold water: this way, the cooking will stop, and it will be easier to peel them without breaking the whites.
You can experiment with various fillings and fill the eggs with a variety of ingredients if you like.
If you prefer, you can also prepare them comfortably in advance and keep them in the fridge until serving time.

Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Place the eggs in a small pot with cold water and cook for 8-9 minutes from boiling. Once cooked, drain the eggs and run them under cold water.
Once cooled, peel the eggs.
Cut them in half.
With the help of a teaspoon, gently remove the yolks and collect them in a bowl, being careful not to break the whites.
Finely chop the hard-boiled yolks and add the minced salmon, creamy cheese, and finely chopped chives.
Set aside 1 slice of salmon for final garnish.
Season with salt and pepper and mix the ingredients thoroughly with a fork.
(Be cautious with the salt as we are using already seasoned salmon).
(For a quicker option, you can blend everything with a mixer).
Place the mixture into a piping bag with a star nozzle.
Fill the egg whites.
Place the deviled eggs on a serving platter.
Garnish each egg with 1 caper and a small piece of smoked salmon, bring to the table, and serve.
The caper is optional if you don’t like it, add something else.
Enjoy your meal.
Tips
Smoked salmon deviled eggs can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 1-2 days maximum.
Smoked salmon deviled eggs are an alternative to simple hard-boiled eggs; they are deliciously flavorful and also serve as a great cold dish for quick lunches and dinners.
The ingredients needed to prepare them are few and simple, and we can have fun personalizing the filling and presentation of the dish as we like!
Ideal also as finger food to eat in one bite during a standing aperitif.
Their main feature is the creaminess of the filling, but also the variety of decorations, which should be colorful and enticing and can really make a difference in the buffet aesthetic.
To save time, especially if we plan to be in the kitchen a lot for Easter lunch, we can prepare the eggs well in advance, as they are delicious even when cold at room temperature.
