See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Prepare the Oven

Place a baking dish on the bottom rack of the oven, then fill it with a couple inches of hot water. Set another oven rack in the middle position. Close the oven door, then preheat the oven to 350°F.

Oil a 24-cup mini muffin tin with avocado or olive oil. Set aside.

Separate the Yolks From the Whites

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place an egg yolk in each of the first 9 muffin cups. Gently stir the egg whites together, then pour an equal amount of egg whites into each of the remaining 15 muffin cups (about ¾ full). Using a plastic squeeze bottle as a syringe, is an easy way to fill the egg whites into the muffin cups.

Add the red onions, capers, and dill to each of the 15 egg white cups, then gently stir the ingredients together.

Bake the Eggs

Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, until both the egg whites and egg yolks are cooked and set.

Prepare the Yolk Mixture

While the eggs cook add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, salt & pepper to a mini food processor. Carefully remove the cooked egg yolks and add them to the food processor. Blitz until smooth. 

Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag with a star tip. Place in a tall heavy base glass (or mason jar), tip side down and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble

Place the everything bagel seasoning on a small plate.

Remove the cooked egg whites, roll the sides and bottom in the everything bagel seasoning, then place them on a serving plate. Top each egg cup with a piece of the smoked salmon. Then pipe a swirl of the yolk mixture onto the salmon.

If serving immediately, place a cucumber slice and small piece of dill into the yolk mixture of all the cups. If making ahead, refrigerate until needed and add the cucumber and dill just before serving.

Notes

• If you separate your eggs over a small bowl and add the whites into a larger bowl after each egg, it avoids getting yolk in all the whites, should the yolk break.
• If any whites are baked in with the yolks, just peel off the whites before adding them into the food processor.
• Using a plastic squeeze bottle as a syringe, is an easy way to fill the egg whites into the muffin cups.
• If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a disposable plastic sandwich bag and cut the corner off to make a piping bag.
• It is okay if there is a little leftover yolk mixture. If you do not overfill each cup with the yolk mixture, these little cups will be a one bite size for most people, making them a perfect appetizer.
