Spooky Halloween Deviled Eggs
A bit of food dye gives these a fun cracked look. I like to color the yolk as well and add some fish roe for another fun color and textural contrast.
Servings: 12
Calories: 123kcal
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise or homemade aioli
- 2 tablespoons butter or butter flavored coconut oil at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- blue or purple food dye preferably natural, to taste
- green food dye natural, to taste (or a lightly packed half cup of fresh spinach)
- fish roe to taste, optional, omit for vegetarian
Instructions
- Place the eggs in medium saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water, and bring to boil over high heat. Remove pan from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Fill a medium bowl half full with cold water and add 1 tray of ice cubes. Transfer eggs to ice water bath and let sit 5 minutes.
- Crack the eggs all over with the back of a spoon but leave the shells on. Place into a ziplock bag or glass container full of cold water that is darkly colored with purple food dye. Let stand overnight.
- Remove from dye and peel the shell. Halve the eggs and remove the yolks with a spoon, and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Set the whites aside.
- Blend the yolks, mayonnaise, butter, mustard, and dye until smooth in a food processor (if using spinach, puree that first and then add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use a plastic sandwich bag with the tip of one corner snipped off. Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites, transfer to a serving platter and top with fish roe, if using.
Notes
Trim a sliver off the bottoms of the cooked egg whites before you fill them to keep them from rolling.
