Instructions
- Hard-boil the eggs: Place 12 large eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat, cooking for 12-14 minutes.
- Cool the eggs: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes until completely chilled.
- Peel the eggs: Carefully peel the eggs under running cold water, ensuring all shell fragments are removed for a clean presentation.
- Slice and separate: Cut each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl and setting the whites aside.
- Mash yolks: With a fork, mash the yolks until they are smooth and crumbly.
- Mix filling: In the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon and yellow mustard, chopped celery, red onion, relish, hot sauce, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Transfer and pipe filling: Use a piping bag or a spoon to generously fill each egg white with the yolk mixture for a delightful look.
- Garnish: Decorate the filled eggs with your favorite optional garnishes, like cooked bacon or chopped green onions, to add a festive touch.
- Chill before serving: Place the deviled eggs in the fridge and let them chill for at least 30 minutes. This enhances the flavors, making each bite refreshing.
- Serve cold: Arrange your colorful Mardi Gras Deviled Eggs on a platter and enjoy them cold at your gathering!
