Red White & Blue Deviled Eggs
How cute are these? The perfect addition to your 4th of July celebration!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs divided
- Red and blue liquid food coloring
- FILLING;
- 6 hard-boiled egg yolks
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/3 c. mayonnaise
- 1 T. onion minced
- 1/4 tsp. Tabasco
- Salt and pepper to taste
- paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan half-way up with water and gently add the eggs. (Cover the eggs with at least 1-inch of water) Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and continue to boil for 10 minutes. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over the eggs. Under cool running water, crack and peel the eggs.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out (remove) yolks, place in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- Gently rinse egg white halves under cold running water to remove all yolk residue.
- Fill 2 coffee cups with a 1/2 cup cold water, and add 7 drops of food coloring to each cup. Place egg white halves into color baths and let sit until you reach desired color. (Mine sat for 15 minutes) Remove colored egg whites with a slotted spoon to dry on paper towels.
- Prepare Filling: Using a fork, mash up the yolks and add mustard, mayonnaise, onion, Tabasco, salt and pepper to taste. Pipe with a star tip or spoon filling into centers of colored eggs. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle with paprika or garnish with chopped chives.
I just have to tell you that I love your website. With a man living in my house such as the one I have, might I say he is very judgmental but whenever I put food in front of him that his mama made he loves it! Thank you for making my dinners easy! (Of course even though its your recipe you always make it better!) MISS YOU GUYS! 🙂
What a wonderful compliment! So glad you enjoy my recipes! Miss you guys too! Love, Mama 🙂
How many halves fit in the coffee cup
Hi Stacey, It depends on the coffee cup. Fill with as many as you can without flowing over. Hope that helps?
Hello can you specify the brand of red food coloring to get please!
I used McCormick red and blue. Hope this helps.
I can’t get them red! So instead I have pink white and blue
Hi Mandy, hmm, how long did you leave them in the colored water?
15 minutes like the recipe said
I’m sorry Mandy, I’m not sure why they’d be pink. You could try Wilton gel food coloring next time, the color might be more intense. I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!
