Chef’s Tip

Turn this recipe into a creamy deviled egg boil: Prepare eggs as directed for Cajun Egg Boil. Instead of making the Cajun sauce, melt 2 tablespoons Schnucks unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium-low. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds or until fragrant. Remove from heat and cool for 2-3 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup Schnucks mayonnaise, 1/3 cup Schnucks sour cream, 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice, 1 teaspoon Schnucks Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning and 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika until smooth. Stir in garlic butter. Cut eggs in half and gently fold into sauce until evenly coated. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives and additional smoked paprika, if desired.
