Chef notes
These easy to assemble bites have all the familiar flavors of classic deviled eggs without all the work. Here, there's no scooping out yolks, mashing or filling needed. Just slice and layer the eggs with a tangy mayo spread onto buttery crackers and you've got the perfect, easy party appetizer.
Technique tip: Punch a hole in the end of the egg, drop in boiling water to help make peeling super easy.
Swap option: If salmon isn't your favorite, bacon is always a fun topping.
