• The recipe is super simple.

• Make a friendly recipe and prepare the base a day before. This will reduce tension when hosting a party at home. 
• Most of all, it tastes delicious and needs no reason for making and enjoying.

The Ingredients

• Dijon mustard. Dijon provides a luscious yellow color, covering up the yolk’s natural character. Its rich tint enhances the filling in Cajun deviled eggs. Substitute with yellow mustard. 
• Mayonnaise. A classic ingredient in any deviled egg recipe. Greek yogurt and sour cream are the closest substitutions.
• Hot sauce. This is my all-time favorite taste enhancer. Its complex taste and intense heat balance all other components in this egg bite. Sriracha or Tabasco sauce is my other favorite replacement.
• Cajun seasoning. It provides an instant facelift with brilliant flavors to any food. You can also use homemade Cajun Seasoning as well.
• Cayenne pepper. Brings in heat to these Cajun deviled eggs. You may substitute it with smoked paprika for milder heat.

How To Make Cajun Deviled Eggs?

Hard boil the eggs. Add the eggs to a saucepan or pot and fill with water until one inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil for about 12-14 minutes.

Peel. Remove the eggs from the pan using a slotted spoon and run them through ice-cold water. Then peel gently.

For the filling. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each egg into halves vertically. Using a spoon, remove the yolk and add them to your mixing bowl. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining egg halves.

Arrange. Arrange that half egg whites in a serving platter, and set aside.

For the feeling. Using a fork on a potato masher, mash up the yolks. Add chopped green onion, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Make them a smooth mixture(add in more mayonnaise to further smooth the mix). 

Using a spoon, scoop the yolk mixture. Place them gently over the hollow of egg whites(we arranged them on the serving platter earlier). 

Complete filling all the remaining egg whites.

Seasoning. Sprinkle Cajun powder seasoning. And optionally garnish with chopped green onion.

What To Serve With?

• Soup. A liquidy and slurpy mild soup(like these, clear tomato soup, or roasted tomato soup) is the ultimate pairing. In between bites of Cajun spicy deviled egg while enjoying the hot soup is a delight.
• Sandwich. Serve with a sandwich(like a Bomaby toast) for a satisfying meal.
• Grilled meat. If you're thinking of making a wholesome dinner, what would be the best other than a protein-rich pairing dish? Grilled chicken, salmon, vegetables, pork, or beef—anything grilled would taste perfect.
• Salad. If you're planning a party and searching for a dish to serve along with spicy eggs, salad(like this spiced kale salad, jalapeno tuna salad, or Indian tomato salad) is the best choice.
• Rice. Makes a wholesome meal when served with rice dishes similar to Cajun Rice and Beans.

Variations

• Bacon. Along with the yolk mixture, add bacon crumbles. 
• Shrimp. Add chopped shrimp for the enhanced seafood flavors.
• Cream cheese. Substitute mayonnaise with cream cheese with a rich, smooth texture.
• Cilantro. A herb variation that everyone would love.
