Chef notes
I love how easy it is up upgrade simple deviled eggs with just a few simple toppings. The briny pop of caviar, crispiness of the bacon and freshness of the chervil complement the classic creamy texture and rich flavor of the eggs.
Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne ground pepper
- Garnishes (optional)
- 1 pinch smoked Spanish sweet paprika
- 1 ounce American hackleback caviar
