Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dye
- 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- Red food coloring

- Water
Yolk Mixture
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt, to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a bowl while setting the whites aside.
- Dye the Egg Whites: In two separate bowls or cups, mix water with a few drops of red food coloring in one and blue food coloring in the other. Soak half of the egg whites in the red dye and the other half in the blue dye for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they achieve the desired color. Remove and place on paper towels to dry.
- Make the Yolk Filling: Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the dyed egg whites carefully to avoid mixing colors.
- Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle with paprika or chopped chives if desired. Refrigerate the deviled eggs before serving for the best flavor and texture.
