Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 large large eggs Fresh eggs lead to better texture.
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise This gives those yolks the creamy base we crave.
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard A kick of tanginess—don’t skip it!
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning The star player. Laissez les bon temps rouler, baby!
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives A burst of freshness and color.
- Salt and pepper Season to taste.
- Paprika for garnish For that beautiful presentation.
Instructions
Preparation
- Hard boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a rolling boil. Simmer for 9-12 minutes, then plunge into ice water.
- Peel and halve the eggs. Gently tap and roll to crack the shell before peeling. Cut each egg in half lengthwise.
- Remove the yolks. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, avoiding tearing the whites.
- Mix the yolks. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper into yolks. Mash until smooth.
- Fold in chives. Add the chopped chives to the yolk mixture and fold gently.
- Fill the egg whites. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the halved egg whites.
- Garnish and Serve. Sprinkle with paprika and additional chives, then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Let the eggs chill to enhance flavor before serving.
