Really, I could NOT believe the reaction I got from these. Everyone loved them!

I am also sharing with you how I make these healthier than traditional deviled eggs.

Deviled Eggs are a really popular item to serve at parties, BBQ’s, holidays, birthdays, Sunday dinners, and more.

Here are some other all-time favorite ways to make deviled eggs.

They taste so delicious, they fooled everyone into thinking they had the full-fat mayo in them. I just love it when that happens, don’t you?

How to hard-boil eggs:

Place a dozen eggs into a 4 qt pot. Cover eggs with an inch of water. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil uncovered. Once the water has come to a boil, turn the heat off, cover the pot with a lid, and let the pot sit on another (cool) burner.

Time the eggs large 15 minutes, extra large 17 minutes, and jumbo eggs 19 minutes. Set a timer.

Once the timer has gone off, pour off the hot water and replace it with cold water, covering the eggs and 2 cups of ice. Allow the eggs to cool for at least 15 minutes.

Gently smack the bottom of the egg (the wider part of the egg is on the bottom) on the counter and begin peeling eggs. The thin membrane has a gap between the egg and the shell at the bottom when the eggs are hard-boiled, and once you start to peel the eggs from the bottom, the membrane will be broken making it easier to peel them.

The membrane should come off with the eggshell. Some eggs are more difficult to peel than others. I’ve made hard-boiled eggs with “fresher” eggs, older eggs, and sometimes I have trouble, but all in all I have the most success with this method.

Slice all the eggs in half lengthwise.

Before I get into the rest of the post about eggs, I thought I’d share with you my new favorite knife. I just love this Cook’s Utility Knife from Rada. Rada Knives are all Made in the USA and you won’t believe how reasonable they are. I have been using Rada Knives for over 15 years now, and I just love that I can afford to add knives to my collection whenever I want, and they won’t make me go broke.

Rada has a great knife sharpener that works wonderfully.

I always have sharp knives, and it’s really easy to use. It even sharpens their serrated knives.

I’m not being compensated by Rada, I just thought I’d share with you something I use every day in my kitchen with you.

I think I’m going to order knives for gifts. Who wouldn’t want a new knife? I just wrote a list of favorites and gift ideas, and this one is going to the top of the list.

Remove the yolks to a medium bowl.

How to dye Deviled Eggs

Mix one cup hot water with one teaspoon Americolor food coloring (these are very concentrated gel colors that have a high pigment content that is what gives the eggs such a vibrant color, if you use unconcentrated colors the results will not be as vibrant often even if you use two or three times the amount of the coloring I use, test the color, leave the eggs in longer that may help) and a tablespoon white distilled vinegar, mix it up well so the eggs to get spots from unmixed color.

Place the egg white halves into the bowl with the color and soak them for 1-2 minutes or until the desired color is reached.

use a pastry cutter for making deviled eggs smooth

Mix egg yolks with a pastry cutter until there are no lumps. A fork will work if you don’t have a pastry cutter, but a pastry cutter just makes it easier.

Then add all the ingredients in the recipe for this delicious “skinny” version of deviled eggs and whip it up nice and smooth with a spatula.

Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs: place the eggs on the rack in the Instant Pot, with one cup of water, time eggs for 5 minutes. Allow the eggs to come down to normal pressure by themselves for 5 minutes after the cooking time is done, then quick-release.

The total time will be about 15 minutes, including the time it takes to come to pressure before cooking starts. Then place the eggs in an ice water bath to cool, and then you’ll be able to easily peel the eggs.

How to make Red White and Blue Deviled Eggs

deviled eggs are decked out in fun color, great for any celebrating. Patriotic, red, white, and blue are fun for Memorial day and July4th, use other colors for other holiday celebrating.
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 1 dozen hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt or desired amount
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise I prefer Hellman's/ Best Foods
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Cut eggs in half and take out yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
  • Use a pastry cutter or fork to break up yolk until it's super fine.
  • Add yogurt, mayo, mustard, s&p, and whip up with a spatula until smooth and creamy.
  • Place mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 2D tip.
  • Mix 1 cup hot water and 1 teaspoon Americolor food coloring and 1 tablespoon vinegar. The vinegar helps the color stay bright, I tried it both ways and the eggs with vinegar have a brighter color.
  • Place egg whites into the colored water and let sit until the desired color is achieved about 1-2 minutes.
  • Take out egg whites and place on a paper towel to allow the excess color to drip off.
  • Then arrange eggs on a platter.
  • Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves.

Notes

I prefer Americolor Food Coloring, the colors are rich and vibrant and there is no taste. I used super-red (red-red is another option) and I used Navy Blue.

I even made some eggs to have all three colors on each.

They were a bit more time-consuming, but so cute.

I wore plastic gloves so my fingers wouldn’t get stained by the color and took each egg and dipped each side into the colors. I switched gloves so there wasn’t any transfer of the colors.

  1. I love everything about these deviled eggs, they taste great, look so pretty and everyone gobbles them up fast, so make plenty!

  2. This is one of the best recipes for eggs, and I just love the colors… these are so pretty and I love making them for holdiays.

  3. I am a regular reader of your blog and it’s full of awesome recipes. The best thing about your recipes is that you always provide content that is helpful for both the newbie and experts.

  4. Great recipe and instructions, this is so wonderful and I made them and my family loved them and they can’t wait for me to make them again.

  5. I love deviled eggs and I made these with my wife and they were fantastic, we like your recipes and have tried many of them, the kids really liked the fun colors.

  6. Wow, magical you have skills. I look forward to getting all your new emails. Your recipes are easy to follow and delicious. I’ve made so many already, from air fryer recipes to instant pot recipes and cakes and cookies. My family love all the recipes too.

  7. I’m curious as to why two red colors. Are you saying either one will work or did you add both of these reds to the bowl of water and vinegar to achieve this red shade? I know a true deep red is HARD to achieve. I’ve had to deal with that both in doing ceramics years ago and now in cake decorating. A true black is just about as bad at times too. Just need to know whether I should use one color in the bowl or both. Thanks. At least in the area where I live I have rarely met anyone who doesn’t love deviled eggs. At the reception after a funeral, church dinner, family reunion, picnic, you name it, they’re one of the very first things to do and men especially seem to LOVE them. It may be an old fashioned food idea but its a real goodie and I for one am VERY glad they aren’t “out of fashion” so to speak as so many delicious things we used to make in my childhood have now become. The nice thing is the versatility. If someone wants to make their “secret family” recipe rather than this one with yogurt, these work just as fine. If entertaining a bunch of young women, you can be sure they’ll appreciate these lower fat versions.

    1. The food color I used is Super-Red from Americolor, there are other brands that make rich red colors now that didn’t use to be available. If you use a color that is “less” red, you’ll just need to add more. Some reds are hard to get vibrant, but the one I use I find very red.

  8. These are so pretty… I made them and everyone loved them, thanks for all the tips, they were delicious, looked great and I’ll be making them again for July 4th.

  9. These eggs are really amazing, I made one batch already and will be making more next weekend. Love the colors!
