Ingredients
  

For the Deviled Egg Filling:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • a couple drops Tabasco
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • a few drops green food coloring
  • a few drops blue food coloring
  • black olives for pupils
  • paprika for garnish
  • toothpick for details

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork
  • Ziploc baggies
  • Knife
  • Serving platter

Method
 

Step by Step Instructions:
  1. Start by hard boiling your eggs. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for about 12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
  2. Once the eggs are cool, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to smash the yolks and mix until smooth.
  3. Divide the yolk mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of green food coloring to create a vibrant green hue. In the second bowl, mix in a few drops of blue food coloring for variation.
  4. Scoop the colored yolk mixtures into separate Ziploc baggies. Snip off a corner of each bag to create a piping bag. Pipe the green filling into half of the egg whites and the blue filling into the other half.
  5. Slice the black olives into small circles. Place one olive slice in the center of each deviled egg to represent the pupil.
  6. Sprinkle paprika over the eggs for a pop of color. Use a toothpick to create any additional details or to swirl the colors for a more dramatic effect.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter option.
  • Prepare the filling ahead of time and freeze it for later use.
  • Experiment with different food coloring to match your theme.
