Ingredients for Perfect Deviled Eggs for Easter:
- 6 Hard-Boiled Eggs, peeled and sliced in half longways (see notes below to learn how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- 2-4 Tbs. Mayonnaise, Depending on your desired consistency
- 1 Tbs. Dijon Mustard
- Salt and Pepper To Taste
- Dash of Hot Sauce (Optional)
- Food Coloring
- Toppings of your choice, such as green olives, black olives, pickles and/or a sprinkle of Paprika
How to make Perfect Deviled Eggs for Easter:
- Fill several small bowls about halfway with water, and add the desired color of food coloring to each bowl. Add in a few drops at a time and stir it until dissolved. Continue adding food coloring until the desired color intensity is achieved. We even mixed our red and blue together in the same bowl to make a pretty purple.
- Gently scoop the yolks out of your hard-boiled eggs with a small spoon and set them aside in a medium bowl. You will need them later.
- Put a few egg halves in each bowl of food coloring. Allow the eggs to sit, fully submerged, until they achieve the color you desire. This can take anywhere from 2-10 minutes, or more, depending on the color you are trying to achieve.
- When you remove the eggs from the food coloring, place them upside down on a paper towel so the excess food coloring can drain out. Let them dry for a few minutes while you are making your filling.
- For the filling, mash your yolks with a fork or a potato masher. Add in the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Place a spoonful of filling in each egg. Top as desired and place on a pretty serving platter. Store lightly covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
How to make perfect hard-boiled eggs:
Place 6 eggs in a medium saucepan. Add cold water to cover the eggs by a couple of inches. Add a splash of white vinegar to the pan. The vinegar makes the eggs easier to peel. Place the pan on your stove over high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Let boil for 1 minute, turn off the heat, let the eggs sit on the stove in the hot water for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, they will be cooked perfectly and ready to peel.
