Colored Deviled Eggs: A Festive Twist on a Classic

These Colored Deviled Eggs are a fun and festive twist on a classic appetizer! They’re easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for Easter or any spring gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Deviled Egg Filling:

  • 12 eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 4 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Egg Dye:

  • 6 ounces water in each cup
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar in each cup
  • Food coloring in desired colors

Instructions

  • Prepare the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
  • Make the Deviled Egg Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork or potato masher. Add mayonnaise, pickle juice, mustard, and chopped pickles. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Color the Eggs: While the eggs are still warm, prepare the dye bath by mixing water, vinegar, and food coloring in separate bowls or cups. Gently place the peeled egg halves in the dye baths and let them soak for at least 10 minutes, or until the desired color is achieved.

 

  • Assemble: Remove the colored egg halves from the dye baths and pat them dry with paper towels. Fill the egg whites with the deviled egg filling using a spoon or a piping bag.
