# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The smoky, tangy filling feels like a secret treat disguised as a classic favorite.
  • It's easy enough to whip up before guests arrive, but just fancy enough to spark conversation.
02 -
  • Don't skip the ice bath or your eggs will be a nightmare to peel—I learned this the hard way during a crowded party.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can vary in saltiness; taste yours before showering the eggs or you could overpower the salmon.
03 -
  • For a smooth filling, press yolks through a fine mesh sieve before mixing.
  • If you run out of piping bags, a zip-top bag with the corner snipped works just as well.
