Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Spiced Deviled Eggs.
Step 1
Start by placing your eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water.
Step 2
Bring the water to a rolling boil, then promptly remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 3
Cover it with a lid and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 4
This gentle cooking method ensures perfectly hard-boiled eggs every time.
Step 5
Once the time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold running water to cool them down quickly.
Step 6
This step not only makes peeling easier but also helps prevent that unsightly green ring around the yolk.
Step 7
After they’ve cooled, gently peel the eggs, taking care not to damage the whites.
Step 8
Next, slice each egg in half lengthwise and delicately scoop out the yolks, placing them in a medium bowl while setting the egg whites aside.
Step 9
Using a fork, mash the yolks until they’re nice and smooth.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper, stirring until everything is well combined.
Step 11
This creamy mixture is the heart of your deviled eggs.
Step 12
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg white halves, creating a delightful presentation.
Step 13
For a little extra flair, sprinkle the tops with cayenne pepper to give your deviled eggs a spicy kick.
Step 14
Finally, cover your delicious creations and pop them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Step 15
These deviled eggs are sure to be a hit at your next gathering, bringing a touch of classic charm to your table!.
