Spoon this 1 creamy filling over halved eggs for a low carb appetizer that keeps you full longer than expected

Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if needed. The mixture should be creamy, well-seasoned, and sturdy enough to hold its shape when spooned.
Using a regular kitchen spoon, scoop a generous spoonful of the creamy filling and gently spoon it over each egg white half, letting it mound slightly in the center and spread to the edges. Continue until all the whites are covered with this one rich, seasoned filling.
Once all the eggs are filled, sprinkle a little extra everything bagel seasoning over the top for color and crunch. If using, scatter finely chopped chives or green onion over the platter.
Cover the platter loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle. Serve chilled, straight from the platter, with extra everything bagel seasoning on the side if folks want a stronger flavor.
Variations & Tips
For a slightly lighter version, replace half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt, keeping the cream cheese for that satisfying richness that helps keep you full. If you like a little heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce along with the Dijon. You can also fold in a tablespoon of very finely diced dill pickles or pickled jalapeños for a tangy crunch. To make them extra pretty for a party, reserve a small spoonful of plain yolk mixture before adding the everything bagel seasoning, then swirl a little of the pale filling on top of each egg for contrast and dust the seasoning just in the center. If you’re cooking for someone watching sodium, choose a low-salt everything bagel seasoning or mix your own with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, and just a tiny pinch of salt. These eggs can be made up to a day ahead; simply keep them covered in the refrigerator and add the final sprinkle of seasoning right before serving so it stays crisp.
