We’re so eggcited that Easter is almost here! That means lots of fun, celebrating, and of course eggs! This year we wanted to take our appetizer game up a notch and make these super fun and eggciting deviled eggs. Deviled eggs are always an eggcellent classic dish to take to a dinner, or family gathering, but sometimes classics need a little bit of spicing up! So we basically just used our normal deviled eggs recipe, but we dyed the whites to make them eggxtra fun. You can make these in any color you want, but we decided to go for cute spring colors.
To make these cuties here’s what you need (makes 12 eggs):
6 eggs – boiled
Food coloring
2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
1Tbsp. Chives
1/4 cup Mayo
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
To start off, you want to boil your eggs in water until they’re hard-boiled, or about 8 minutes. Then let them cool. To save some time, you can also do this the night before, so they’ll be nice and cool before you get started on the actual dish. After your eggs are cool, you can peel off the shell, and then slice each egg in half, carefully. Separate the yolk from the egg halves. Put the yolks in a bowl, and set the whiles aside while you prepare to dye them.
To make your dye solution, put about 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 tsp. of vinegar in a cup (you can use disposable cups, or you can be really cool and use old random cups like we did) then add about 4-5 drops of dye. Make sure you have a cup for each color you want to have. Let the eggs sit for about 1 hr. to get some awesome pigment.
While your whites are dying, you can prepare your filling. Take the yolks, and crush them all up with a fork or in your food processor. You can make them as chunky or as smooth as you want. Add in your mayo, Dijon mustard, chives, and smoked paprika. Mix together thoroughly, and let chill for the remainder of your dye time.
Once your dye time is over, you can take the eggs out and rinse and dry them. Be careful because the whites tend to be fragile. If they’re not perfect don’t worry about it too much, because they will be fine when you add the filling.
Once you have your whites prepped and ready to fill, fill them with your yolk mixture. You can do it with a piping bag, or you can just spoon it in like we did. Whichever method you choose, is totally up to you. After they’re stuffed, sprinkle some more of the smoked paprika on top. Chill, then serve!
That’s all there is too it. Take this to your Easter eggstravaganza and you’re sure to be the coolest one there. Plus, kids are sure to love eating these!
So what do you guys have planned for Easter? Do you have a signature dish that you always make for Easter? Let us know in the comments, or using the #tpscooking.
Have a great Easter everyone!!!

I LOVE all things colorful, but I’m not sure if I could actually eat these. I’m so weird with food. That being said, you did a fantastic job and the photography is great!

I bet kids just love the colors! I’ll keep the food dye out of ,one, but they do look lovely and I can’t wait to eat some tomorrow!

Those eggs look pretty fancy. I have not made Deviled Eggs which makes the timing of your post perfect! Deviled Eggs always sounded complicated to me. I didn’t know they were this easy to prepare.
Nahh they’er not hard at all. It’s mostly all mixing and prep, easy peasy!
A perfect recipe for easter. I love eggs but i love it more when it is cooked creatively like this. Thanks for proviiding the recipe, I love to try it out.

I love the range of colour and deviled eggs are spectacular. I love the layout of your site too by the way!
Thank you! We love how bright they turned out!
So cute! I wonder if certain real food dyes would work for this? Beet juice and what not?
Thank you! It probably would work just the same, It’s worth a shot at least. 🙂
I’m sure they would! You could try it out and see. Let us know!
This looks like so much fun! The colors are so bright!! My son would definitely love it! I’ve made it but not with colorful eggs!
Thank you! We’re sure kids would love it!
Omg!!! How cute are these deviled eggs!!!!??? My hubby is obsessed with deviled eggs. I will have to make these for him!
Thank you! That’s awesome! We’re glad you’re going to make them for him!
These look so good. I haven’t made deviled eggs in a long time. I never thought to use spicy mustard.
You could use spicy brown mustard as well, but I prefer the Dijon. It doesn’t have as much spice 🙂
Thats super colorful! Perfect for Easter!
Thank you! We love anything colorful!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have been wanting to make some but every time I try, most of the time, I ended up making something else.
No problem, Garf! You should definitely add these to the pile 🙂
Those are so fun and colorful. I can never seem to cook my eggs right to make these but would love to.
I have to admit, I’ve never had any trouble boiling my eggs, but if you’re having a hard time, here’s a handy guide!

Such a clever idea, Hannah! It’s so customary to dye the hardboiled eggs in their shell, but the color goes away once it’s peeled. I love that the whites of these are colored. You get to to enjoy it a bit more. Thanks so much for sharing this creative recipe with us on #shinebloghop. So happy you were able to enjoy us this week!
