Description
A flavorful recipe for Spicy Bayou Deviled Eggs, perfect for gatherings and parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- Sprinkle with paprika for garnish and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the yolk mixture.
- Substitute the Cajun seasoning with Old Bay seasoning for a different flavor profile.
