What yummy deviled eggs...I reduce the recipe to make 4 halves for part of our lunch...very tasty and creamy...we loved the addition of the cream cheese...I used a homemade cajun 3 pepper seasoning...it added another touch of heat...made for "FYC" tag game...

I'll start by saying I'm not crazy about deviled eggs. Yep, probably one of the only people on the face of the earth! But DH loves them and I made these for him. I did cut back on the cream cheese a bit per the other review, and I thought they were very good, too. The other change was using mayo instead of Miracle Whip (don't like it). Used a good squirt of Crystal hot sauce. These were creamier than most, probably due to the cream cheese, and tasted quite decadent... Thanks for sharing!

Booze, pancakes and deviled eggs are the 3 things that I almost never partake in outside of Tour time, so of course I had to try these. I really liked the filling in these, especially after they chilled and the flavors had a chance to meld. The only change I made was to use dill pickle relish in place of sweet pickle relish. I'll eat just about any kind of pickle EXCEPT sweet pickles, so I only buy dill relish when I need pickle relish. Definitely a keeper IMO! Thanks for posting!

Great deviled eggs! I loved the crunchy relish - perfectly offset the creamy cream cheese and yolk mixture. DH did not like them and I couldn't get him to describe what he didn't like, so who knows. Anyway, I'd use a bit less cream cheese next time. made for SWT2018

These deviled eggs were wonderful and they went perfectly with our southern Cajun dinner tonight. Loved the addition of the cream cheese and they were really nice and flavorful.
