Ahh…Devilled Eggs. I can hear people already, 70s this and 70s that.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always loved devilled eggs and I think it’s completely wrong to look down on it as a novelty dish from the 1970s.
Fueled by this belief, we decided to do our own little twist on the classic devilled egg and take one of Cody’s favorite flavors – Cajun – to create our seriously delicious Cajun Devilled Eggs with a salty surprise. Mmhmmm.
Boiled Eggs are the absolute perfect Keto or Low-Carb healthy snack and is great of on the go munching!
Devilled Eggs are super easy and the trick is to not over-boil the eggs. What I like to do is put the eggs in cold water, turn the heat to high and set the timer for 10 minutes.
The result is eggs that are hardboiled, but not cooked to death – leaving them creamier, and subsequently, yummier. After the 10 minutes are over, I plunge the eggs into cold water, let them cool down for a couple of minutes and then peel them under the water.
I find that makes them easier to peel, but then again, it might not – who even knows? Boiled eggs seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.
We decided to add a little round of smoked Andouille sausage into the hollow of the egg as the salty crunchy secret, and flavor the egg yolks with Cajun seasoning.
For an extra flavor surprise, we added a little heap of sauerkraut on top to finish things off. And to be quite honest, while I’m not exactly sure about the true Cajun-ness of this recipe, it sure makes a yummy combination.
What’s stopping you from giving your next devilled eggs party appetiser a little Cajun twist? Nothing. Absolutely nothing! Cajun Devilled Eggs will make everyone happy!
