Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Filling

  • 12 Large eggs
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Pickle brine
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Coloring

  • 4 colors of Liquid food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons White vinegar, divided
  • 2⅔ cups Water, divided (⅔ cup per dye cup)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the 12 large eggs to the boiling water and boil for 13 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
  2. Cool and peel: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice water bath. Let them cool until just manageable to handle, then carefully peel off the shells, discarding them.
  3. Prepare the yolk filling base: Chop 2 eggs that are less perfect looking and place them in a food processor along with ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 2 teaspoons pickle brine. This creates the creamy base of the filling.
  4. Scoop yolks from remaining eggs: Slice the remaining 10 eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks gently from each half, rinsing the egg whites lightly to remove any yolk bits, then set the whites aside.
  5. Blend the filling: Add all the removed yolks into the food processor containing the base mixture. Blitz until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate the filling until ready to assemble.
  6. Prepare dye baths: Set up 4 small bowls or glasses. In each, combine 2-3 drops of a different liquid food color, ½ teaspoon white vinegar, and ⅔ cup water. Stir until well mixed to prepare the dye baths.
  7. Dye the egg whites: Divide the halved egg whites evenly among the four dye cups. Allow them to steep for about 2 minutes to absorb the color. Check the shade; for pastel tones, 2 minutes may suffice, or leave longer with more food coloring for deeper colors.
  8. Dry the egg whites: Using a slotted spoon, carefully lift the colored egg whites from the dye baths and place them on a paper towel-lined surface. Gently blot dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  9. Assemble the deviled eggs: Arrange the colored egg white halves neatly on a serving platter. Spoon or pipe the prepared yolk filling into each egg white half, creating evenly filled deviled eggs ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for easier peeling by slightly older eggs; very fresh eggs can be harder to peel.
  • The pickle brine adds a subtle tanginess; adjust the amount to your taste.
  • For more vibrant colors, increase food coloring drops and extend the soaking time.
  • The yolk filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before assembling.
  • Experiment with different food coloring shades to match your holiday theme.
