I love smoked salmon, but have never thought to add it to a deviled egg. Thanks for the recipe.
We are big fans of smoked salmon so this would be a new and unique way to serve it. They look so festive and would be nice to have on the table for a holiday get together.
This is really unique and sounds delicious! Thanks for the step by step instructions!
I have never heard of a recipe like this. I will have to see if my family will eat them. Thank you for the recipe.
I’m the one tasked to do the deviled eggs at family gatherings. While would certainly eat these eggs, I would never have time to make them.
The devil part is quite different from traditional deviled eggs, I would have never thought to add goat cheese. I have seen recipes for scotch eggs but have never tried it before. They always look so good, but i know I would end up eating way too much of it. I also like the idea of the salmon taste although my husband would turn up his nose (he doesnt care for salmon) Maybe for a get together I will try this.
OMGosh, Carol – this is brilliant. Did you create it yourself? I’m flabbergasted. Why didn’t I think of this?
This recipe sounds fancy and perfect for a party. I so want to make these but am afraid that I will eat them all. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe I have never heard of it before. Happy Halloween.
