These 3-ingredient everything bagel deviled eggs are the perfect holiday appetizer, game-day snack or brunch staple. They come together in just 30 minutes. You’ll be shocked by how flavorful they are!
So it’s definitely that time of year between the holidays and spring when everyone is asking themselves, “what month is it?”. Luckily, this party snack (anytime snack?) is bright and happy no matter when you serve it. And it’s a great recipe to have in your back pocket because it works well for so many different occasions.
Today we’re making everything bagel deviled eggs and let me tell you, they do not disappoint.
Method for the Best Hard-Boiled Eggs
If there’s one thing you take away from this post, let it be this: use your instant pot to make hard-boiled eggs.
The instant pot works brilliantly for many things and hard-boiling eggs is one of them. If you don’t have an instant pot, you can cook them the normal way on the stove-top. If you do, I would highly recommend pulling it out now. It’s quick and mostly hands-off and they peel perfectly every time. It’s the only way I cook them.
Steps to Making Hard-Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot
- Insert the trivet in the bottom of the pot
- Add your eggs (for this recipe I used 6, but you could use more) and pour one cup of water over the top
- Seal and cook on high pressure for 6-7 minutes, with a 5 minute natural release
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath until cool (about 5 minutes)
You know the drill with the added time for coming up to pressure and all that stuff. When all is said and done it takes around 20 minutes to get these to perfection.
For deviled eggs, you’ll want the yolks to be on the firmer side so you can easily pop them out to make the filling. I always use Vital Farms eggs because they are the best! The yolks are that dreamy vibrant color.
Making the Filling
Deviled eggs are way easier to make than you probably think. Once you have hard boiled eggs, just remove the yolks into a bowl and add whatever mix-ins you like before evenly distributing back into the whites. That’s really all there is to it!
To stay with the theme, I added cream cheese. Simple and perfect. No mayo, which I’m sure is welcomed news by the mayo-haters out there. Finish these by topping with your seasoning/garnish and arranging on a plate.
These babies are party ready in 30 minutes flat. You can go super minimal by adding the seasoning alone. Or you can take them over the top with all of the classic bagel toppings like smoked salmon, dill, capers and minced red onion. I usually go simple here.
Deviled Egg FAQs
2-3 days. I’ll often make them for snacks at the beginning of the week and they keep just fine, but the texture does start to get a little weird after that. Also note that the black color from the seasoning sometimes leeches onto the egg white, so if you’re serving these at a party I wouldn’t make them ahead of time.
Trader Joe’s for sure, but most “mainstream” grocery stores carry it now too. Check the seasoning aisle in your local store to see if they have it. If not you can also order online (affiliate) or you can make your own.
Usually sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic flakes, onion flakes and sea salt.
Your guests will go crazy over these. Trust me, I’ve tested them out on many friends! Make them for your next game-day party, holiday brunch or appetizer.

Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- optional: fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Place trivet in the bottom of the instant pot. Add eggs and one cup of water. Twist lid shut until it beeps and make sure vent is in the “sealed” position. Press “manual” or “pressure cook” button and set timer for 7 minutes (high pressure). Once time expires, let pressure come down naturally for 5 minutes. If the float valve still hasn’t dropped, manually release it. (see notes if you don’t have an instant pot)
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes or until cool and easy to handle.
- Peel and slice each egg in half. Remove each of the egg yolks into a medium bowl (I found the easiest way is to use a small spoon to kind of pop them out from the sides).
- Add cream cheese and mix well. Lightly season with salt.
- Divide the filling evenly between each egg, scooping it back into the yolks (about 1 tablespoon per egg half).
- Top each with everything bagel seasoning and dill.

Made these today- loved the elevated taste of these deviled eggs. I added a bit of Dijon for some acidity, but otherwise- perfect!
