Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
- 2 pieces green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons additional paprika or Cajun seasoning (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 12 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them immediately into a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes.
Gently crack and peel the cooled eggs, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves aside on a platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until finely crumbled. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, paprika, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Use a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip to fill the hollowed egg whites with the yolk mixture.
Garnish the filled eggs with thinly sliced green onions and a light sprinkle of paprika or Cajun seasoning on top.
Cover and refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy your spicy Cajun deviled eggs!
