How to Make Cajun Eggs:
This recipe yields two dozen
cajun eggs.

Step 1: Prepare the Cajun Eggs filling:
Using a very sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Using your fingertips or a small spoon, remove the yolks, being careful not to tear the egg whites. Place the yolks in a small bowl and set the whites aside.

Step 2: Make the Cajun Eggs filling:
Use a fork to mash the yolks as finely as possible. Stir in the mayonnaise, butter, pickle juice if using, mustards, sugar, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce if using, mixing until the filling is smooth.

Step 3: Fill Cajun Eggs:
Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites, mounding or swirling it slightly. Carefully place the filled egg halves on a serving platter. Unless you’re serving them immediately, cover the egg platter with a lid that doesn’t touch the filling and refrigerate until serving time.

Step 4: Garnish and serve:
Just before serving, sprinkle the cajun eggs with paprika. If desired, top each with crumbled bacon and fresh cilantro.
Optional:
Cooked bacon, crumbled
Fresh Cilantro
