Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon green onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 slices cooked crispy bacon (crumbled, optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. This makes them easier to peel.
Peel the eggs under cool running water, then carefully slice them in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the yolks into a medium-sized mixing bowl and place the empty egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well combined.
Gently fold in the finely chopped green onion and crumbled bacon (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or extra Cajun seasoning on top of the filled eggs for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy your zesty Cajun Deviled Eggs!
