# What You Need:
→ Filling
02 - 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
06 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Topping
08 - 1 1/2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
09 - Extra chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
02 - Once boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10 minutes to finish cooking.
03 - Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Cool for about 5 minutes, then carefully peel the shells.
04 - Slice eggs lengthwise and gently remove yolks to a medium bowl. Arrange the whites on a serving platter.
05 - Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice and chopped chives; mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
06 - Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to portion it into each egg white half, creating a neat mound.
07 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each half and garnish with additional chives if desired.
08 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. For best texture, chill no longer than a few hours before serving.
