Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs for stuffing
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise you can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning adds the Cajun flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Coating and Frying
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs for coating the stuffed eggs
  • Oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and turn off the heat, leaving the eggs to sit for 12-15 minutes. Afterward, transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
  2. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half. Gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, placing the egg whites aside.
  3. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Carefully fill each egg white with the yolk mixture, making sure not to overfill.
  5. Roll each stuffed egg in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the stuffed eggs until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes each side.
  2. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

You can elevate the flavors with additional toppings like fresh herbs or extra spices. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
