Everything (but the) bagel deviled eggs recipe (quick and easy) (2024)

FAQs

Is everything but the bagel good on eggs? ›

Just like the bagel itself, Everything Bagel is the perfect addition to all your breakfast and egg dishes. Omelets, breakfast bakes, or sprinkled on top of eggs fried, poached, or scrambled, the savory crunchy seasoning is the perfect pairing.

Prep deviled eggs too far in advance, and you'll have dried out filling and stinky boiled egg whites. For the best results, prep your deviled eggs up to two days in advance and keep the egg whites and filling separate until you're ready to serve. This prepping method also applies if you're not even leaving the house.

There are many ways that you can use this seasoning! It is great on a cream cheese bagel, slice of avocado toast, roasted vegetables, steamed rice, eggs, guacamole and anything really!

Drop the eggs into boiling water. Eggs added to a pot of boiling water rather than brought to a boil along with the cold water will be easier to peel. Plus, this method allows for more precise timing.

Simply sprinkle over fried or poached eggs, or mix 1-2 teaspoons into beaten eggs for omelettes and scrambled eggs. For something different, try adding to shakshuka or into quiches.

In terms of the healthiest bagels, plain may seem like the obvious choice but Taub-Dix notes that seed-rich sesame and everything bagels contain heart-healthy fat and fiber. Rye, pumpernickel, oat and whole-wheat are also good choices.

Gently lower in fridge-cold eggs. Lower the heat slightly – so the eggs don't crack due to being bashed around but water is still at a gentle boil. Start the timer – 6 minutes for runny yolks, 8 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for classic hard boiled, 15 minutes for unpleasant rubbery whites and powdery dry yolks.

Making them too far in advance. Deviled eggs can be watery, dry, or lose flavor the longer they sit, so don't make them too far in advance. For the best results, prep your eggs and make the filling up two days in advance, and store them separately. Assemble the eggs before serving.

I cook the eggs the day before and (when cooled) cut them in half. I prep the egg yolk mixture (and refrigerate). I place the egg whites, cut side down, onto 1-2 paper towels in a container with a lid. I put one or two paper towels between each layer of egg whites.

The exact ingredients vary, but recipes often include garlic flakes, onion flakes, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and kosher salt.

Can everything but the bagel seasoning go bad? ›

Unopened, a high-quality Everything Bagel Seasoning can last for about 2-3 years past the printed date on the package. Once opened, the quality will be best within 6 months to a year, but if stored properly, it can last 1-2 years.

This blend is a divine mixture of black and white sesame seeds, dried minced garlic and onion, sea salt flakes and poppy seeds. The concoction's salty, savory flavors are reminiscent of your favorite bagel variety but jive with a lot more than the crusts of white bread.

Cool Eggs Quickly In An Ice Bath

Shocking your recently boiled eggs by submerging them into a bowl of ice water is key. The quick cooling of the hard-boiled eggs causes the egg whites to contract, freeing them from the membrane. If you let them cool for about 15 minutes, the peeling is much easier.

Here's her hack for how to peel hard-boiled eggs in large batches: Put five thoroughly cooled hard-boiled eggs into a small plastic container with some cold water, top with the lid and then gently rock and shake until the shells break and fall away. You'll almost always end up with perfectly peeled eggs.

Keeping Hard-Boiled Eggs Fresh

For maximum freshness, leave them in their shells until you are ready to eat or prepare. The shell will help to protect the egg from bacteria, and can help prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in your refrigerator.

A nice spice

The everything bagel is for those okay-it-I'm-going-for-it days. It's the perfect level of extra and over-the-top. The saltiness of the seasoning pairs very well with a generous spread of cream cheese or avocado, and in fact it gives eggs, veggies, and meats a boost as well.

Opt for savory instead of sweet.

Skip cinnamon-sugar bagels and choose something savory like an everything bagel, which is covered with spices and seeds. Fun fact: Many seeds contain fiber, protein and healthy fats. Sugary bagels add more carbohydrates to the meal, which can spike blood sugar even more.

While bagels with cream cheese are delicious, traditional cream cheese is not necessarily healthy. This popular bagel topping is generally low in protein and high in fat and calories. The good news is that there are healthier cream cheese options, if cream cheese is your favorite bagel spread.
