Ingredients

8 large eggs
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese at room temperature
2 tablespoons creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®), or as needed
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
0.25 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.25 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste

Instructions

Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and cool under cold running water until eggs are cool enough to handle, then peel.
Halve eggs lengthwise and transfer yolks to a mixing bowl. Combine yolks with cream cheese, creamy salad dressing, pickle relish, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Beat until smooth and creamy. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Garnish each deviled egg half with a light dusting of Cajun seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
