Description
Make festive Holiday Deviled Eggs with vibrant red and green colors perfect for your Christmas gathering. These fun eggs bring holiday cheer to any appetizer spread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Red food coloring (liquid or gel)
- Green food coloring (liquid or gel)
- Pinch of paprika for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Drain hot water and immediately cover eggs with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely.
- Peel the cooled eggs carefully. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop the yolks into a bowl. Set the egg white halves aside.
- Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork.
- Mix in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and vinegar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. This is your base filling.
- Divide the yolk mixture evenly into three small bowls. Leave one bowl plain.
- Add a few drops of red food coloring to the second bowl and mix until you achieve a festive red color.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring to the third bowl and mix until you achieve a festive green color.
- Transfer the plain, red, and green fillings into separate piping bags fitted with a star tip (or use a small spoon for a rustic look).
- Pipe or spoon the fillings back into the empty egg white halves, alternating colors for a fun holiday pattern.
- Arrange the finished deviled eggs on a serving platter.
- Garnish lightly with a tiny sprinkle of paprika, if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For the best peeling experience, use slightly older eggs.
- If you don’t have piping bags, use a small zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
- Be generous with the food coloring; you want bright, noticeable holiday shades.
- Taste the base filling before dividing it to ensure the seasoning is perfect.
