Cajun Deviled Eggs

I thought these Cajun Deviled Eggs sounded like fun for Mardi Gras ~and they were a big hit at Sunday dinner! The only thing I did differently was, instead of mixing the relish into the yolks I piped a little nest in each egg and spooned about 1/4 tsp of my homemade sweet jalapeno relish into the center. The sweet relish makes for a very tasty bite!
If you don't have Cajun seasoning there's a recipe for Emeril's Essence HERE.

Cajun Deviled Eggs-adapted from Kraft
8 hard boiled eggs, cut in half, yolks popped out
1/4 C Miracle Whip-I used mayonnaise
1/4 C cream cheese spread-I used 2 Tblsp cream cheese from the foil pack, softened
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/4 tsp Cajun seasoning
salt to taste-I used Lawry's Cracked Black Pepper Seasoned Salt
1 Tblsp sweet pickle relish
1/4 tsp fresh thyme, chopped-I didn't have this
  1. Mix yolks and next six ingredients (skip the relish if you decide to add it to the top).
  2. Fill whites and garnish with sprinkling of fresh thyme. Alternately, pipe yolks into whites making an indent in the center, top with 1/4 tsp relish.
Eat well and have a happy day:@)
