Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Filling
- 6 hard boiled eggs (cut in half lengthwise)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- ¼ red bell pepper, diced
- Bright green food coloring, a few drops
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Peel the hard-boiled eggs carefully and cut each egg in half lengthwise. Set aside the white halves for filling.
- Make the filling: Scoop the yolks out of the egg halves into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Add color: Add a few drops of bright green food coloring to the yolk mixture. Whip the mixture with a fork until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture is lump-free with a rich green hue.
- Pipe the filling: Transfer the green yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the filling back into the hollows of the egg whites evenly.
- Garnish: Top each deviled egg with three small pieces of diced red pepper to create a festive bow shape reminiscent of a holiday wreath.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for easier peeling after boiling.
- Adjust the amount of green food coloring according to your desired shade.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the filling.
- Prepare the eggs a day in advance and store in the refrigerator for best flavor.
- Use a plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off if you don’t have a piping bag and star tip.
