Step-by-Step Instructions for Cajun Deviled Eggs
- Begin by placing your eggs in a pot and covering them with water, ensuring they are submerged. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then once it reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 11 minutes.
- After the eggs have finished cooking, drain the hot water and immediately cool them under cold running water for about 5 minutes. This will help stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Once cool, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then carefully peel them under running water for a smoother result. Cut each egg in half lengthwise.
- In a mixing bowl, scoop out the yolks from the halved eggs and mash them with a fork until smooth. Add finely diced celery, sliced green onion, Hellman’s mayonnaise, Creole mustard, Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, and a few dashes of Crystal hot sauce. Mix everything thoroughly until you achieve a creamy and well-combined filling.
- Using a spoon or a small scoop for precision, fill each egg white half with the flavorful yolk mixture. Aim for a generous amount that forms a nice mound atop each half for an appetizing look.
- Once all egg halves are filled, place them on a decorative platter. Cover the platter with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate the Cajun Deviled Eggs for at least 15-30 minutes.
- Before serving, add a final touch by sprinkling extra Cajun seasoning or fresh herbs over the filled eggs. Present your Cajun Deviled Eggs on a vibrant platter, perhaps with a small dish of hot sauce on the side.

Notes
Use week-old eggs for easier peeling. Adjust seasonings to taste before chilling for the best flavor. Experiment with garnishes for visual appeal.
