Pink Deviled Eggs

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Makes 12 halves

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup pickled beet juice from a jar of pickled beets
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to season
  • Fresh dill or chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by an inch.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover, remove from the heat, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 10 minutes, then peel each egg under cool running water.
  • Pour the beet juice into a shallow bowl and submerge the peeled whole eggs for 2 hours, turning once halfway through, until the whites are a deep pink all the way around.
  • Remove the eggs from the beet juice and pat dry, then slice each in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a separate bowl.
  • Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar until completely smooth with no lumps.
  • Season the yolk mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into the pink egg white halves, mounding it slightly above the surface.
  • Garnish each with a small sprig of dill or a few snipped chives just before serving.

Good to Know

Color the whole peeled eggs a day ahead and keep them in the beet juice, covered, in the fridge; fill them the morning of the party.
