Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs Use room temperature eggs for better results.
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning Adjust based on personal spice preference.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Garnishes
  • Chopped green onions or parsley For garnish.
  • Paprika For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Hard-boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. Once done, transfer them to ice water to cool.
  2. Peel and cut. Once the eggs are cool, carefully peel them and slice them in half lengthwise.
  3. Extract the yolks. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
Filling and Assembly
  1. Make the filling. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
Garnishing
  1. Finish with chopped green onions or parsley, and sprinkle paprika for that vibrant touch.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Avoid freezing as the texture may suffer. For less cracking when boiling, try bringing eggs to room temperature beforehand and add a splash of vinegar to the boiling water to make peeling easier.
