Ingredients
- 12 Large eggs
- 1 tbsp minced Shallot
- 1 tbsp Grainy mustard
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Hot sauce add more for extra heat
- ½ tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp Paprika
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish optional
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with at least 1 inch of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 14 minutes.
- Transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- To the mashed yolks, add minced shallot, grainy mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the egg white halves. For an extra touch, garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Perfect Boiling Method: Start eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, then let them sit covered off the heat for 14 minutes before cooling in an ice bath. This ensures easy peeling and perfectly cooked yolks.
- Adjusting Heat Levels: Customize the spiciness by adjusting the amount of hot sauce and Cajun seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
- Garnish Creatively: Add a pop of color and flavor with optional sliced green onions on top of each deviled egg for a finishing touch.
