Instructions
TO COLOR BOILED EGG WHITES:
Cut the boiled eggs in half (lengthwise) and carefully scoop out the egg yolks into a small mixing bowl. Set aside for the deviled egg filling recipe.
Gently wash boiled eggs whites to remove any remaining yolk.
Place 1/2 cup water, 3-4 drops of food coloring, and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in each cup. (One color per cup.)
Add one cooked egg white to each cup. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and then check for desired color. The egg colors will become brighter and deeper the longer you let them sit in the egg dye.
Once the egg whites are the color that you desire, drain them on a paper plate lined with paper towels until they are dry to touch and you’re ready to fill them with the deviled egg filling (next section).
TO MAKE DEVILED EGG FILLING:
In the mixing bowl, mash egg yolks completely with fork.
Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, and sweet pickle relish into the egg yolks. Combine completely.
Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Pipe or spoon deviled egg mixtures into colored egg whites. (SEE TIP IN POST FOR EASY EGG YOLK PIPING!)
Sprinkle with paprika right before serving (optional).
Chill until ready to serve. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
