usually at church before sunrise on Easter
sunday and don’t have a lot of extra time cooking, we love to serve lots of salads and pretty spring time dishes, including pastel deviled eggs! With this month being Easter month, I wanted to share a cute recipe that we look forward to every year for our family dinner.
1. Boil eggs (I bring mine to a boil for 5 minutes and then turn off the heat and let them sit in the hot water for about 20 minutes--or til I remember them sitting there LOL). 2. Cool eggs; cut in ½ and separate yolks and whites (just like you normally do for deviled eggs). 3. Make as many colors as you would like (I usually do about 4-5) drop food coloring in cups filled with water and place egg white halves in desired colored water. When making colored Easter eggs, you would normally add vinegar to make the color more intense but for this recipe you won’t want to do that. You will just let the egg white haves sit in the colored water about 30 minutes, so make sure you have enough water in each cup so that you can color all the egg white halves at the same time. Otherwise this could take you a LONG time. 4. After the eggs have reached the desired consistency, take them out of the water and just place them on a paper towel lined plate to dry a little. 5. Mash and mix egg yolks, add desired amount of mayonnaise and if you want to add mustard and relish. Salt and pepper to taste.
Ingredients • 12 large eggs
6. Spoon yolk mixture into each egg white halve until all the mixture is used up. 7. Serve on a pretty platter!
