Dyed Deviled Egg Bouquet
Boiled eggs dyed in beet juice then stuffed and displayed to look like a beautiful bouquet of purple tulips!
Equipment
- 1 Pan to boil eggs
- 1 Strainer
- 1 Straw
Ingredients
- 2 Cans Beets
- 10-12 Eggs I used 8 for my bouquet but broke some so it's good to have extras
- 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise You may need a bit more if using all the eggs
- 1 Tsp Yellow Mustard
- 1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/8 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1/8 Tsp Paprika
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Garnish
- 12 Chives
- Fresh Thyme
- Fresh Bay Leaves
Instructions
- Add eggs to boiling water and boil gently for 13 minutes then transfer to an ice bath
- After eggs have cooled peel them carefully and add them to juice of 2 cans of beets and let them soak for 20 minutes or more. Occasionally stir the eggs around in the beet juice
- Once eggs are dyed rinse them in a strainer under cool water to remove any beet juice as it will dye your fingers
- Using a paring knife make a cross in the top of the egg carefully cutting down about 3/4 of an inch
- Take a butter knife and carefully go around the edge of the yokes releasing it from the whites of the egg then carefully and slowly pop the yoke out of the egg
- Smash egg yokes with a fork then add the Mayo, Mustards, and spices and mix till creamy. If the mixture seems to dry just add a little more mayonnaise
- Add mixture to a pastry bag and while holding the egg in your hand pipe the filling inside then lay down on plate arranged to look like a bouquet
- After filling each egg use a straw to make a hole in the bottom and insert a long chive to look like a stem - Repeat with each egg until you have a bouquet
- Trim the bottom of the chives then take a long chive and tie around all the stems to look like a bow
- Garnish with Fresh Bay Leaves and Fresh thyme
