Things to Know Before Making Red White and Blue Deviled Eggs

• Vinegar is key: It helps the color soak into the egg whites better
• Don't rush the soak: Let them sit long enough for bold color
• Pat dry gently: This keeps the color vibrant and not streaky

These are basically deviled eggs but with a glow-up, and I'm obsessed.

How to Make Red White and Blue Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.

Step 2: Transfer eggs to cold water and let them cool completely. Peel carefully to keep the whites smooth.

Step 3: Cut eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks. Set yolks aside for the filling.

Step 4: In two bowls, mix warm water with red food coloring and vinegar in one, and blue food coloring with vinegar in the other.

Step 5: Place egg whites into the dye baths and let soak for 20 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally until the color is vibrant.

Step 6: Gently rinse the egg whites under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 7: Mash the yolks with mayonnaise and salt until smooth and creamy. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the colored egg whites.

Step 9: Refrigerate before serving so the color sets and the eggs are nice and cold.

Substitutions and Variations

• Add mustard or pickle juice for a classic deviled egg flavor
• Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter option
• Sprinkle paprika or herbs on top for extra flavor
• Mix colors or do pastel shades for different holidays

FAQs

Why aren't my egg whites bright enough?

Let them soak longer and use enough food coloring. The longer they sit, the more vibrant they get.

Why do you add vinegar to the dye?

Vinegar helps the color absorb deeper into the egg whites so the color looks bold and even.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can make them up to 24 hours ahead. Store covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
