This is a very retro recipe, but a good devilled egg still goes down well as a canapé or an addition to a salad buffet.
Ingredients
For the devilled eggs
- 8 large hard-boiled eggs — peeled
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons pickle juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- Celery leaves or chopped fresh herbs, to garnish
Method
For the devilled eggs
- Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place in a medium bowl.
- Mash the yolks then stir in the mayonnaise, pickle juice or vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Combine the smoked paprika and Cajun seasoning on a small plate.
- Press the cut side of each egg white into the seasoning and arrange on a serving platter.
- Pipe the filling into the egg whites and top with celery leaves or fresh herbs to serve.
