These 3-ingredient Everything-Bagel Deviled Eggs are the perfect game-day snack and come together in just 30 minutes. The classic flavor combination is a total crowd-pleaser!

So it’s definitely that weird time of year between the holidays and spring when everyone is asking themselves, “what month is it?”. I find myself looking forward to sun and warmer weather, longer days and afternoon walks but it’s been dreary and just kind of “blah” here in Denver lately.

Luckily, this party snack is bright and happy and has me looking forward to the Super Bowl. I always love planning a fun menu for the game regardless of who’s playing. I’ll take an excuse to cook up some new and interesting things for friends any day!

Today we’re making everything bagel deviled eggs and they do not disappoint.

How to Use the Instant Pot for Deviled Eggs

Yes, we’re doing this. The instant pot works brilliantly for many things and hard-boiled eggs is one of those things. If you don’t have an instant pot, you can certainly cook them the normal way on the stove-top. If you do, I would highly recommend pulling it out for these. It’s quick and mostly hands-off and they peel perfectly every.single.time. It’s the only way I cook them anymore.

Here’s the method:

Insert the trivet to the bottom of the pot
Add your eggs (for this recipe I used 6, but you could use more)
Pour one cup of water over the top
Seal and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes; 5 minute natural release
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.

Note: if using the IP for hard-boiled eggs that won’t get transformed to deviled eggs as they did here, I would recommend less time (~4 minutes) to keep the yolks more jammy, but that’s just personal preference. Experiment with the time to get them just right for your taste!

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 used Vital Farms eggs because the yolks are that dreamy orange 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 and a bit of salt and pepper. 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. They are party ready in 30 minutes flat.

Where to find “Everything Bagel” seasoning

I’m sure some of you are asking, “what the heck is everything bagel seasoning?” right about now.

Everything Bagel seasoning was made popular by Trader Joe’s but I’m happy to report that I now see it in other grocery stores too. I used one from Whole Foods for these, but check the seasoning aisle in your local stores to see if they have it. If not you can also order online (affiliate) or you can make your own.

Most everything bagel seasoning blends consist of the same simple base ingredients:

sesame seeds
poppy seeds
garlic flakes
onion flakes
sea salt

These are all easy to find and you really can’t mess it up. So as a last resort, you might consider making your own, which would be the more economical choice I’m sure.

Your guests will go crazy over these. Trust me, I tested them out on friends. Make them for your next game-day party or even as a fun addition to a brunch spread. Leftovers make great snacks throughout the week, but I have a feeling there won’t be any.
