Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • water for boiling eggs
  • red food coloring
  • blue food coloring
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar divided
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.

  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of cold water and let cool completely. Peel carefully once cooled.

  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks. Set yolks aside in a bowl.

  4. In two separate bowls, mix warm water with red food coloring and 1 tablespoon vinegar in one, and blue food coloring with 1 tablespoon vinegar in the other.

  5. Add egg whites to the dye baths and let soak for 20 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally until the desired color is reached.

  6. Remove egg whites, rinse lightly under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.

  7. Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise and salt until smooth and creamy.

  8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the colored egg whites.

  9. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Chilling helps the colors set and improves texture.

Recipe Notes

  • Let eggs soak longer for brighter colors
