Ingredients
- 12 hard-boiled eggs
- pastel food coloring We used pink, purple, blue, and yellow
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Teaspoon white vinegar Plus 4tsp for food coloring
- 2 Teaspoons yellow mustard
- salt & pepper to taste
- paprika optional, for garnish
Instructions
To Make Hard-Boiled Eggs:
- Place your eggs in a single layer in the bottom of a large saucepan. Fill with water so there is at least 2 inches of water covering the tops of the eggs.
- Bring to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the eggs to sit for 12 minutes. If you're at higher altitudes, you may want to allow your eggs to sit for a few extra minutes.
- Carefully remove the eggs one at a time from the pot with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of ice cold water, until they're fully cooled.
- You're also welcome to use your own favorite method to boil the eggs!
To Make Pastel Dyed Deviled Eggs:
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a large mixing bowl. Rinse the egg white halves to wash away any egg yolk that's stuck to them and pat dry with paper towels.
- Fill 4 bowls with about a cup of water and 1 teaspoon white vinegar. Using one color per bowl, stir 4 drops of food coloring into the water. Soak the egg white halves in the dyed water until the egg whites are your desired shade. Remove the colored egg whites from water and allow to dry while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl mash together the egg yolks, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust to your liking.
- Scoop the deviled egg filling into a piping bag with star tip and pipe into each colorful egg half. If using paprika, add just a sprinkle on top of the filling. Cover and chill the finished deviled eggs for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Nutrition information is provided as an estimate only and will vary based on exact ingredients used and serving size.
- Prep Tips:
- Just like when you're dyeing Easter eggs, the yellow usually takes longer to achieve a vibrant gold. Be patient! You can also stir in more food coloring to speed up the process. Another trick I use to make rich golden eggs is to add a drop of orange food coloring to deepen the color.
- I used a fork to mash up the egg yolk mixture. You don't really need any fancy tools! Also, if you don't have a piping bag, you can simply spoon the filling into the egg white halves.
- You can use either liquid food coloring or gel food colors, as long as they are food safe dyes. I find that gels usually create more vibrant colors.
- We generally use yellow mustard in our deviled eggs, but dijon mustard tastes fabulous too! Honestly, we just use whatever we have in the fridge that day.
