How to Make Blackened Cajun Deviled Eggs Rolls With Pepper Crunch
This recipe comes together in just a few simple steps, so you can easily whip up a batch for your next gathering or cozy night in.
Step 1: Prep Work
Begin by hard-boiling the eggs and allowing them to cool completely. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Step 2: Main Cooking Process
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mash and mix the ingredients until the filling is smooth and creamy. Spoon the deviled egg filling into the egg white halves, making sure to fill them evenly.
Step 3: Final Steps/Assembly
Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface and place a filled egg white half in the center of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly to the top. Lightly moisten the top corner with water to seal the roll.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and diced bell peppers. Sprinkle this pepper crunch mixture over the top of the filled and rolled egg rolls.
