Deviled eggs are a classic staple on any holiday table, and Easter just wouldn’t be complete without them. We’ve always loved how versatile they are—creamy, tangy, bite-sized, and easy to elevate. Over the years, we’ve played with different fillings and toppings, but this version with smoked salmon and dill might just be our favorite yet.
There’s something elegant about the pairing of smoked salmon with fresh dill, and when combined with the rich yolk filling of a deviled egg, it transforms a traditional appetizer into a little gourmet bite. Whether we’re hosting a formal Easter dinner or assembling a relaxed brunch platter, these beauties always get eaten first.
The best part? They’re naturally keto, low in carbs, and packed with protein and healthy fats. No need to modify anything to make them fit the lifestyle—they’re just naturally perfect. We love dishes like that, where the ingredients shine and you don’t feel like you’re sacrificing flavor or presentation for macros.
These deviled eggs make a statement on the table but are incredibly easy to prep. They’re also a great make-ahead item—assemble them a few hours in advance and chill until serving. That means more time enjoying your guests and less time worrying about last-minute cooking. A win-win, especially on a holiday.
