    Love a little bit of heat? You'll want to give these spicy cajun deviled eggs a try.

    Hard boiled eggs are sliced and filled with mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, and cajun seasoning. Just spicy enough, with a lingering heat that will have you coming back for seconds.

    Serve these spicy cajun deviled eggs at your next holiday, like Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Or, serve up a platter at your next barbecue, picnic, or family party. You can't go wrong with deviled eggs!

    Ingredients and substitutions

    Ingredients on a counter top.

    Dijon mustard can be substituted with regular yellow mustard.

    If your cajun seasoning also contains salt (check the label beforehand), I recommend omitting the salt in this recipe.

    For a less spicy deviled egg, replace the hot sauce with apple cider vinegar.

    Green onion can be substituted with diced celery.

    How to make a smooth deviled egg filling

    There's a secret for making smooth and creamy deviled egg filling - using a food processor! I use my mini-prep food processor, which is an absolute workhorse in my kitchen.

    Preparing deviled egg filling in a food processor.

    Use a piping bag to fill your deviled eggs for less mess. If you don't have piping bags, simply use a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off.

    Want to make your deviled eggs a little fancy? Use a frosting piping tip to add texture and visual appeal to your filling.

    Make ahead and storage

    If making ahead for a party, I suggest preparing your eggs a maximum of two days ahead for the best quality for your guests. Add your green onions the day of serving so that they're fresh and crisp.

    If not serving your deviled eggs immediately, they need to be stored in a sealed container and transferred immediately to the refrigerator.

    Deviled eggs will keep for 3 to 4 days before any leftovers need to be tossed out.

    Serving at a party

    When serving deviled eggs at a party, keep in mind that your eggs have a limited shelf life outside the refrigerator.

    Deviled eggs can sit out at room temperature for a maximum of two hours before they need to be refrigerated again.
