How-To Make Colorful Deviled Eggs

Colorful Deviled Eggs

I think everyone can agree with me when I say that deviled eggs are the most classic side dish to any cookout, dinner party, or holiday dinner. With Easter coming up, I thought how fun would it be to make deviled eggs with a festive twist. And while they are the perfect touch for your Easter lunch, they would also be perfect for any summer cookout, dinner party, or baby shower!

Think: red and blue eggs for 4th of July, baby blue or pink for a baby shower — or even red and green for Christmas. The possibilities are endless! 

Today on the blog, I thought it’d be fun to walk you through how to make colorful deviled eggs. Not only are they cute, but they are absolutely delicious. This would be a super easy and fun activity to get your kids involved with while they’re home!

How-To Make Colorful Deviled Eggs

Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot:

One of my favorite ways to make deviled eggs is in the Instant Pot. After years of boiling them on the stove and baking them in muffin tins in the oven, I have found that the Instant Pot truly is the best and easiest way to make hard boiled (or soft boiled!) eggs. They have turned out perfectly every single time for me!

For hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot, you will pour 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot and place the wire metal steam rack (or steamer basket) into the pot. Gently place the large eggs on the rack or in the basket, taking care not to crack them. Secure the lid, set the release to ‘Sealing’, and select the Steam setting. Set the cooking time for 3 minutes at high pressure for soft-boiled eggs and 6 minutes for hard boiled eggs. (Increase cooking times by 1 minute for extra large eggs.) When the eggs are done, do a Quick Release of the pressure and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Once eggs are cooled, peel them.

How-To Dye Deviled Eggs:

For each color that you want, you’ll need to combine about 8 oz of water into a cup with 1 tsp of white vinegar and food coloring. I used three drops of food coloring per glass.

Once the eggs have been boiled and peeled, you’ll want to cut the boiled eggs in half and gently scoop out the yolk into a separate bowl to make your filling. Then, you will simple place the empty egg halves into the food coloring mixture for approximately 10 minutes — or until the desired color is achieved. Once the eggs are the desired color, gently lift them out of the glass and place them on a paper towel to dry. While you wait for the eggs to dry, you can work on making your filling!

Note: When I was doing this, I had a worry that the eggs would taste like vinegar when they came out. However, I couldn’t taste it at all!

My Family’s Deviled Egg Recipe:

I’ve made deviled eggs the same way since I was a little girl. My grandma taught me how to make them when I was little and would help her in the kitchen. My family has been making them the same way for years! With that, we always do it by taste and have never written anything down. So I hope you’re not totally disappointed by the fact that I can’t really give you a recipe. However, I can give you a guideline!

Ingredients:

  • Hard Boiled Egg Yolks
  • Mayonnaise
  • Mustard
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Celery Salt
  • Paprika

I start off by smashing the hard boiled egg yolks that I collected in a small bowl. Once they are all smashed up, I add in a generous portion of mayonnaise before mixing the two together until it has reached a smooth consistency. From there, I add in a little bit of mustard and mix it together as well. I’ll then taste the mixture to see if I need to add more of one or the other. I prefer to have a very light mustard taste – where you know it’s there but it’s only a hint of the flavor. If you put in too much mustard, simply add in a little bit more mayonnaise.

Once I’ve gotten the ratio of mayonnaise and mustard to what taste I like, I add in salt, pepper, celery salt, and a pinch of paprika. Again, I really do this all to taste. It’s all about preference! Once the mixture is complete, I scoop it into a ziplock sandwich bag. I cut a small hole in the corner, and I treat it as a make-shift piping bag. I pipe the filling into each egg half. (Be generous with the filling!) I then top each deviled egg with a generous pinch of paprika — and that’s it!

January 20th, 2023 💛

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
