Best Stop Cajun Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a timeless classic that never fails to impress at any gathering. With their creamy texture and perfect blend of flavors, these Best Stop Deviled Eggs are a Cajun twist on a favorite and a must-have on your holiday table. They’re easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time, allowing you to enjoy the festivities without the last-minute rush.
To make these creamy and flavorful deviled eggs, start by boiling and peeling 6 large eggs. Once cooled, slice the eggs lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a bowl, setting the whites aside. Mash the yolks with a fork or mixer, then blend in 6 tablespoons of The Best Stop’s Cajun Mayo, 2 teaspoons of mustard, and a pinch of salt until you achieve a smooth mixture. Next, transfer the yolk blend into a piping bag or a zippable plastic bag, snip off the tip, and pipe the filling into the egg white cavities. For a finishing touch, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for color.
We recommend doubling the recipe, these deviled eggs go fast!
