Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Filling
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Coloring
- Red food coloring
- 1 cup water for coloring
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, which stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Prepare the Egg Halves: Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them into a small mixing bowl.
- Color the Egg Whites (Optional): In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup of water with a few drops of red food coloring. Submerge the egg white halves into this colored water for 1-2 minutes or until they achieve a soft pink hue. Remove the egg whites and pat them dry gently with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
- Make the Filling: Use a fork to mash the egg yolks until smooth. Stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, well-seasoned filling. Transfer this yolk mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag with a small corner cut off for easy filling.
- Assemble the Deviled Eggs: Carefully pipe the yolk filling back into the cavity of each colored egg white. Fill generously, creating a smooth or decorative swirl as desired. Garnish each deviled egg with chopped fresh parsley, chives, or a light sprinkle of paprika to add a pop of color and fresh aroma.
- Serve: Arrange the completed deviled eggs on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer perfect for Valentine’s Day celebrations.
