To the yolks add the mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix to combine and continue to mix until you have a smooth paste.
Using a teaspoon scoop some of the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. You can also add the yolk paste to a piping bag with a tip and pip the paste into the egg whites.

To Garnish:

In Guyana it is most common to garnish stuffed eggs with a piece of parsley or celery leaves and a bit of wiri wiri pepper. You can also use a slice a scallions.
I am obsessed with deviled eggs and I have served them many different ways. here are my top 3 favorites:
1. Topped with crispy bacon bits. 2. Topped with fried chicken pieces. 3. Topped with Caviar. Be sure to keep your caviar on ice and let guests add tiny dollops as they serve themselves.

Notes

When making Deviled eggs for parties I love the stuffing to have a bit of height. In this instance I double the egg yolks needed in this recipe. You can reserve the extra egg whites for added protein on your breakfast plate.
If you double the egg yolks you can double the other ingredients.
