Marbled Easter Deviled Eggs

I wanted to an Easter egg activity but also didn't want to waste our eggs, so I made colorful edible Easter eggs!

Here are the steps I took.


1. Hard boil your eggs. First put your eggs in a pot and then cover 1-2 inches at least over top of the eggs with cold water. Bring to boil, then let them cook for another minute.

2. Take your pot off the heat, cover with a lid and let the eggs cook for another 10 minutes. 


3. Take your eggs out of the pot and let them cool down. Next you want to crack the shell without breaking it off or carving into your egg. We used the back of a spoon for this.

4. Pick the colors you would like your eggs to be and spread the food coloring all over the outside of the shell. We used our spoon, but afterwards I realized putting them in a plastic baggie with the food coloring inside would have been much easier.

5. Let the eggs sit with the coloring on for a few minutes, then use some water to clean off the excess food coloring.

6. Very carefully peel off the shell. And you have your marbled hard boiled egg. You can leave them like this, they look great! Or you can carry on with the instructions to make them into deviled eggs.

Deviled Eggs

Ingredients (makes 12 halves)

• 6 eggs hard boiled
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 1.5 tbl freeze dried dill
• 2 green onions finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp dried mustard
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
•  1/4 tsp paprika, with a little more for dusting afterwards
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

Cut your eggs in half, scoop out the yolks carefully and put them into a bowl. Mash your egg yolks into a paste. Add the rest of your ingredients and mix well. Put into a piping bag (I don't own one so I used a ziploc baggy with the corner cut off) and pipe into empty egg halves. Dust with paprika.

ENJOY!
