Easter Deviled Eggs
By mamapig
The first time I served these, people were a little taken aback but after they tried them found out there was no taste to the color. It's been a favorite Easter staple since. You can do these for Christmas, school parties, etc. - just using the right colors. A lot of fun.
Ingredients
- 10 hard boiled eggs
- food coloring
- 1 tsp vinegar for each color you are using
- water
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip or half of each
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp dried minced onion
- 2 tsp pickle relish
Preparation
Step 1
Remove the shells from the hard boiled eggs and slice each egg in half.
Remove the yolks from the egg halves and place in a bowl. Set the yolks aside.
Get enough glasses or mugs for the number of colors you want to use. Fill the mugs or glasses ⅔ of the way full with cold water.
Add 3 drops of desired food coloring along with 1 tsp. vinegar to each mug or cup.
Place egg whites in the mugs and allow to sit in the food coloring until desired color is reached. I could fit 3 egg whites in each of my mugs at a time.
Remove whites from dye and drain on a plate lined with a couple of paper towels.
Take the reserved yolks and mash them with a fork. Then mix the rest of the with the mashed yolk.
Pipe or spoon the yolk mix into the colored egg whites. Makes 20 deviled egg halves.
