Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover them with cold water, at least 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
Mash the egg yolks using a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, paprika, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
Stir in the chopped green onions for a burst of fresh flavor.
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
Garnish the deviled eggs with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh parsley.
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
