Basic Deviled Egg


Ingredients

12 boiled eggs
1/4 cup regular mayonnaise, more or less to taste
1 tablespoon Creole, Dijon or yellow mustard
1 tablespoon sweet or dill pickle relish
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
Paprika, for garnish, optional


Directions

Peel the eggs & split in half lengthwise, remove
the yolks and setting aside the whites. Using a
fork or pastry blender, mash the yolks well. To
the yolks, add the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle
relish, salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning and
stir together well till creamy. Taste and adjust
seasonings as needed. Pipe the yolk mixture into
the egg whites using either a pastry bag and tips
or place into a plastic storage bag and snip off
the corner. Piping not only looks nicer, but it
also makes more efficient use of the yolk filling.
Serve immediately or refrigerate filled eggs in
a covered bowl that leaves room for the stuffing.
