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!

Today on Insta Stories I shared a couple of simple Today on Insta Stories I shared a couple of simple tips for decorating with faux floral stems in wall planters. 🪴 In case you missed it ➡️ 1. Stuff your planters with those extra plastic grocery bags. I showed y’all how great they held up the stems in place! Not to mention, it keeps you from having to completely fill each planter. 2. Make sure to bend the ends of your stems to the desired height rather than cut them so you can reuse them each year in a different way, whether that be in a wall planter this year and a large jug vase next year! They then become an investment and can actually save you money by you not having to purchase new stems each year. ✨ So what do y’all think — was that helpful? #ahostinghome

Introducing: baby jail! 👶🏼🍼 (well, a sliv Introducing: baby jail! 👶🏼🍼 (well, a sliver view of it.) Chaos ensued today from putting that thing together. I obviously didn’t read the dimensions because it’s large, in charge, and takes up a lot of room in our living room — which in turn caused me to rearrange all our furniture. 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 Not only did I get a great workout 🤪 but Willie also found a new perch to bark at the neighbors out the front door. But you know what? This is real life — and I LOVE this season of life that God has blessed me with. With two babies in heaven, I’ve prayed for this season for so long. ❤️ And while it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing thing on Instagram, I hope to inspire you with the real life of living where you love, in the season of life that you’re in. ✨❤️ #ahostinghome

I was going to wait for it to be completely done, I was going to wait for it to be completely done, but I can’t help myself! ✨ Tackled this china cabinet yesterday, and all I can say is WOW WHAT A TRANSFORMATION. (Swipe to see the before! ➡️) 😍👏🏼 This china cabinet belonged to my grandmother, and It’s been so fun getting to make it my own and make it apart of my home. I painted it with @behrpaint chalk paint in the color ‘Classic Noir’ and accented it with the most darling @wallpops wallpaper in the back. Now I just need to do the finishing touches by rub n’ buffing the hardware, and it’ll be done. 😍 I originally wanted to paint it white because I was nervous to paint it black— but now I’m SO glad I did! My motto for 2021: don’t be afraid to be bold with design! (It’s just paint! 😉) So tell me, what do y’all think?! #ahostinghome
Don’t mind me, just chilling in my comfy clothes Don’t mind me, just chilling in my comfy clothes and slippers admiring the work that I did today. Master bathroom paint is (pretty much) finished, and I’m already in love with how my vision for it is coming together. Rob keeps laughing because this all started with needing to fix our shower... yet I have to remind him that he knew what he got into when he married me. 😘 I can’t believe how much painting this little wall made our marble tile pop! Now I want to put this color everywhere in my house. 😍 P.S. Did you catch some paint project tips in my stories today? ✨#ahostinghome

I feel like it’s officially that weird transitio I feel like it’s officially that weird transition time of year with my home decor, y’all! Too early for Spring, yet when I put Christmas decor away, I like to put it all away so I can have a fresh and clean slate for the new year. That means lots of greenery and fresh additions mixed with cozy textures to give it a clean and fresh feeling while I focus on projects and things around the house for the new year. How do y’all like to transition and decorate after Christmas? #ahostinghome

Hello, progress photo! My name is Cathy, and I lov Hello, progress photo! My name is Cathy, and I loveee to paint! ✨❤️ While I only get small slivers of time right now because I’m a mama to a sweet newborn, I’m making the most of it — and our master bathroom is slowly getting its much needed facelift. Our new shower door won’t get delivered until later this month, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me from getting my hands on the rest of the walls! I absolutely love this Pure White by @sherwinwilliams — it’s the same white I used when I redid our guest bathroom. It’s the perfect neutral white that is going to make this space look so much bigger and brighter! 😍 #ahostinghome
This entryway makeover was another one of my favor This entryway makeover was another one of my favorite DIY projects in 2020, inspired by @mindfullygray’s entry and @thejadebennett’s color vibes. It’s crazy how much of a difference paint and a wood board with hooks can make! ✨ It completely transformed this space and gave it so much functionality. (SWIPE ➡️ to see the before!) I see a lot more paint and DIYs in 2021 — and I CAN’T WAIT! 👏🏼

Happy New Year, friends! ✨ As I mentioned on Ins Happy New Year, friends! ✨ As I mentioned on Insta Stories the other day, we ended 2020 with a leak in our master bathroom that is making us take out our builder grade shower insert and redo it (so 2020, right? 🤦🏼‍♀️) — so we’re starting out 2021 with a master bathroom makeover! ✨ Since we have to redo the shower, we decided to go ahead and makeover the rest of the bathroom too because it’s a space we really haven’t touched yet. I’ve been dying to get my hands on it, but I have always been too hesitant and unsure of what I wanted to do. Channeling my goal for 2021 of being bold and fearless in my DIY projects this year, we’re going for it! Here’s a peek at the design board I have working so far, and you can see the progress and behind the scenes on Instagram stories as we go. (I’ve started saving it all to a highlight on my profile too!) To say I can’t wait is a bit of an understatement. So tell me, what do you think of my vision so far?! #ahostinghome
Looking back through 2020, our guest bathroom make Looking back through 2020, our guest bathroom makeover was definitely one of my favorite projects we did this year! It was funky and bold and totally out of my comfort zone when it came to my decorating style, and I think that’s why I’m so obsessed with it! Is it weird to say that my guest bathroom inspires me everyday? ✨ This next year my goal is to be bold with my design choices and projects while being fearless in picking up a tool and trying something new — and I can’t wait to kick it off with our master bathroom makeover! ✨ What are your goals for the new year? #ahostinghome
