- Using a pastry bag fitted with a large tip, pipe the yolk mixture into the whites. If you do not have a piping bag, use a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off.

Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped green onions or fresh herbs like dill to the yolk mixture.
- After cutting the boiled eggs in half, gently dry them with a paper towel. This helps the filling stick to the egg whites better.
- Blend egg yolks, mayo, and other ingredients in a food processor for a smoother filling texture.
- Sprinkle Creole seasoning over assembled deviled eggs for extra Cajun flavor.
