How to Make Christmas Red and Green Deviled Eggs
Since Red and Green are the colors of Christmas, I thought it only fitting that deviled eggs get a Christmas kick by making Red and Green Colored Deviled Eggs.
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs, hard boiled
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, or Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, or prepared mustard
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
- 1 tablespoon green gel food coloring
Instructions
- You'll start with hard boiled eggs. I have posts linked with tips to cook hard-boiled eggs. Boil or steam for 12 minutes, place them in an ice water bath 12 minutes, then peel.
- 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.
- Mix mayonnaise with mustard, s&p, and whip up with a spatula until smooth and creamy, or use an immersion blender to whip the filling.
- Place mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 2D tip.
- Mix 1 cup hot water, 1 teaspoon gel 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. Leaves some of them white if you'd to.
- Take out the colored egg whites and place them 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.
