Welcome back to Spring week! Today I decided to start us off with a potluck staple. From Easter events, to Church or work potlucks, to family reunions and backyard get-togethers the deviled egg is known for making it's appearance on the table. Love them or hate them, they are everywhere. I love deviled eggs, but wanted to do a little something different for our family holiday gathering. After a few different ideas floated around, in came the colored egg. Even kids who normally do not like eggs were quick to grab these colored goodies off the table.
Ingredients
* 1 dozen eggs
* 3 tbsp yellow mustard
* 3 tbsp mayonnaise
* 2 tbsp Relish
* 1-2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
* Dash each salt and pepper
* 1 tsp hot sauce
* Food Coloring (I used neon colors pink, yellow, green, blue and purple)
* White Vinegar
* Paprika
Directions
Fill large pot halfway with water and place on high heat to boiling. Slowly place eggs in boiling water and turn stove down to medium/low (simmer). Let eggs continue cooking for 12-13 minutes, then remove from heat, strain water and run cold water over them until shells are completely cooled. Tap eggs on sides of pan to peel without sticking. Slice eggs in half vertically and scoop yolks into a bowl, fill cups (I used plastic disposable) with a water, three to four drops of coloring of choice and a small amount of vinegar and swirl around. Place egg whites in dye cups and let sit to desired color, remove and place on towel or butchers paper to dry. While eggs are drying, mash yolks and combine with mustard, mayo, relish, cider vinegar, hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Place yolk mixture in a pastry bag and pipe in to colored eggs. Sprinkle with paprika. Let sit in fridge for one hour before serving.
