Ingredients
Eggs and Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Coloring and Garnish
- A few drops red food coloring
- A few drops blue food coloring
- Fresh parsley or chives, as needed, for garnish
Instructions
- Hard Boil the Eggs: Place the 6 large eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit covered for 12 minutes to finish cooking.
- Cool the Eggs: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool for 5 minutes. This cooling step helps to stop cooking and makes peeling easier.
- Peel and Slice: Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice each egg lengthwise in half to expose the yolks.
- Prepare the Yolks: Remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly and smooth.
- Mix the Filling: Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and smooth.
- Divide and Color: Split the yolk mixture evenly into two bowls. Add red food coloring drops to one bowl and blue food coloring drops to the other, mixing each until you achieve the desired color intensity.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag with the corner snipped off, alternate piping the red and blue yolk mixtures into the hollowed egg whites for a patriotic, colorful presentation.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each deviled egg with fresh parsley or chopped chives to add a pop of green color and a fresh flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your festive appetizer!
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than fresh eggs.
- Adjust the amount of food coloring to reach your desired shade without affecting the flavor.
- Serve these deviled eggs chilled for best taste and texture.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter filling.
- Make ahead and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
