Serving & Pairing Ideas
Serve on a platter with pickles and olives. Add crackers or fresh veggies. Pair with crisp white wine or lemonade. Both cut the richness nicely. Which would you choose tonight?
Keep Them Fresh and Tasty
Store deviled eggs in the fridge for up to 2 days. Cover them with plastic wrap to keep air out. If you need longer storage, freeze the filling alone in a sealed bag. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before piping. *Fun fact*: My grandkids love these so much, they vanish before I can freeze any! Batch-cook tip: Double the filling and dye extra whites for quick snacks. Why this matters: Proper storage keeps flavors bright and textures creamy. Have you ever tried freezing deviled eggs?

Runny filling? Whip mayo in slower to avoid breaking. Eggs cracked while boiling? Add a pinch of salt to the water first. Colors too faint? Steep whites longer or use extra gel drops. Why this matters: Small tweaks save time and stress. Last Easter, my neighbor’s pink eggs turned out pale—we laughed and dunked them again! Which issue trips you up most: filling, peeling, or dyeing?Your Questions, Answered
Q: Can I make these gluten-free?
A: Yes! All ingredients here are naturally gluten-free. Just check mayo and mustard labels.
Q: How far ahead can I prep these?
A: Dye whites 1 day early. Fill them 2–3 hours before serving.
Q: Any mayo swaps?
A: Greek yogurt or avocado work, but add less vinegar.
Q: Can I halve the recipe?
A: Absolutely. Use 6 eggs and adjust other ingredients by half.
Q: What if I lack piping tools?
A: A spoon works fine—or snip a corner off a plastic bag.

Easter Twist on Classic Deviled Eggs
Description
A colorful Easter twist on classic deviled eggs, featuring dyed egg whites and a creamy, flavorful filling.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the 12 hard boiled eggs in half, either lengthwise or widthwise. Using a spoon, remove egg yolks and place them in a separate bowl.
- Make egg yolks as smooth as possible using a ricer, potato masher, grater, or just a fork.
- Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, slowly add the 1/2 cup mayonnaise, whipping between each addition.
- When fully incorporated, add the 2 teaspoons white vinegar, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika.
- Place 2-3 drops of desired gel food coloring in separate bowls with about 1 – 1 1/2 cups water, stirring until dissolved. Place the egg white halves into each bowl, steeping for 10-15 minutes or until they reach the desired richness of color. Spoon out of the water and drain, well down, on a paper towel lined plate.
- Place the filling into a piping bag, airtight plastic bag, or just use a spoon and fill the egg white shells.
- If desired, dust the tops with the smoked paprika and minced parsley for garnish.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, chill eggs thoroughly before dyeing to help them absorb color more evenly.
