Ingredients

6 large eggs
⅓ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup green onion finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prep the eggs

In a sauce pan and add eggs and water. Water level should be at least 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring it to boil in medium to high heat for 12-15 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.
Run the eggs through cold water. And peel the eggs.
Gently slice the eggs into two halves.
Repeat the same process for the remaining eggs as well.

Make the filling

Using a spoon remove the all egg yolks and place them in a bowl.
In the mixing bowl, add egg yolks, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, finely chopped green onion, and salt.
Using a fork mix thoroughly until the mixture turns to smooth consistency. And set aside.

Arrange

In a large serving platter, arrange all the egg whites by having the hollow side facing upwards.
Scoop egg yolk mixture and place them in the white egg's hollow portion.
Complete this procedure for the remaining eggs as well.

Serve

Optionally sprinkle chopped green onion and cayenne pepper for garnishing. And serve immediately.

Notes

Refrigerate. As soon as the Cajun deviled eggs are ready to be used, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Eggs are highly perishable and should not be left on the kitchen counter for long.

Make ahead. Hard boil the eggs and slice them into halves. Store the egg whites and yolk separately. Make the spicy yolk mixture when needed.
