Colored Deviled Eggs

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 9 large hard-boiled eggs peeled
  • - ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • - 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • - Salt and white pepper to taste
  • - Food coloring - 3 colors artificial or natural

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Start by boiling the eggs using your preferred method.
  • Once boiled, cool the eggs in an ice water bath for 10-15 minutes to make peeling easier.
  • Peel the eggs carefully and decide whether you'd like to halve them for dyeing or keep them whole.
  • If you choose to halve them, slice them gently in half lengthwise.
  • Prepare the dye by combining 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, and 10-20 drops of food coloring for each color you want to use.
  • Soak the eggs in the dye for up to 10 minutes, adjusting the time based on how deep you want the color to be.
  • After dyeing, remove the eggs and pat the egg whites dry with paper towels.
  • In a bowl, mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
  • Mix in the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, salt, and white pepper until well combined.
  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the colored egg whites.
  • For added flavor and a pop of color, garnish with paprika or bacon bits.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When dyeing the eggs, consider testing one egg first to find the ideal dyeing time for your desired color intensity.
  • If you're using natural dyes, be aware that results may vary, and you might need to experiment with the amounts and soaking times. Additionally, boiling eggs using a method that includes an ice bath can help make them easier to peel.
  • Additionally, using mason jars can help simplify the dyeing process, allowing for easy immersion of the eggs.
  • Enjoy your colorful deviled eggs at your next gathering!
