Instructions
Make hard-boiled eggs
Use your favorite method. I prefer making Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs, air fryer eggs, or boiling them on the stove.
Once they are done, put them in a large ice water bath and let them cool for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the eggs
Peel the eggs.
6 large eggs
If you want the tops of the egg whites colored, then cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the egg yolks and set them aside. Rinse the white halves to remove and yolk.
Or dye the eggs whole, which will keep the cut edges white.
Dye the eggs
Add 1 cup of cool water to a glass or Mason jar for each color.
1 cup water per color desired
Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to each cup of water.
1 teaspoon white vinegar per color
Add 3 drops of food coloring to each cup and stir to dissolve. Increase the amount of food coloring for desired color intensity.
3-6 drops food coloring per color
Place your peeled, hard-boiled eggs into the dye cups and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and check the color. If you want a darker color, return the egg to the dye for another 5 minutes.
Do not leave them in the color mixture for more than 10 minutes.
Using a spoon, remove the whites from dye cups and set them aside on a couple of paper towels to dry.
Make the deviled eggs
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and place the yolks in a bowl.
Mash the eggs with a fork. Then stir in the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites. Or put the egg yolk mixture in a piping bag and pipe it into the egg whites.
