Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon green onion (finely chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 slices cooked crispy bacon (crumbled, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. This makes them easier to peel.

Step 4

Peel the eggs under cool running water, then carefully slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 5

Scoop out the yolks into a medium-sized mixing bowl and place the empty egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 6

Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well combined.

Step 7

Gently fold in the finely chopped green onion and crumbled bacon (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.

Step 8

Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or extra Cajun seasoning on top of the filled eggs for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy your zesty Cajun Deviled Eggs!
