I love deviled eggs. They’re the perfect summer food – great for picnics, work get-togethers and a weekend brunch. I was racking my brain to come up with an interesting version for my food truck for my summer menu when it came to me to re-construct a smoked salmon platter as deviled eggs.
All the elements of a traditional salmon platter are here – the cream cheese, dill, capers and onion – and they combine together flawlessly in this hand-held appetizer bite. The smoked salmon on top pulls all the flavors together. These really are delicious and they’re just out of the ordinary enough to impress.

Ingredients
- hard boiled eggs - 12, halved
- cream cheese - 1/4 cup, room temperature
- mayonnaise - 2 tbsp
- red onion - 2 tbsp, minced

how to
- Carefully remove the yolks from the eggs and put them in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to smash the yolks into a powder. Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise and mix together until smooth.
