Two things that go really well with eggs: Caviar and smoked fish. The Swedish have a wonderful (and way cheap!) caviar-in-a-tube called Kalles, and a little dollop of that on top of a deviled egg is heaven! However...it will be a cold day in Hawaii when the mega-marts in rural New Mexico stock any Kalles, so I'm left to use the rare package of smoked salmon or my own smoked trout. If I'm using smoked salmon in another dish, I always reserve a little for deviled eggs. I think I found the basics to this recipe in a magazine a few years back and have since adjusted it a little for our tastes.
