DEVILED EASTER EGGS

These deviled eggs couldn’t get more festive!

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
12 eggs hard boiled, peeled and cooled
1/3 cup mayo
3 tbsp cream
1 tbsp sweet relish
food coloring for dyeing

Directions:
To dye the eggs, fill four small bowls with water and add 1 tsp vinegar, as if you were dying Easter eggs. Add desired food coloring to the water. For the red, we added 6 drops of red food coloring to achieve the pink. The blue, green and yellow we used about 15 drops. Soak the whites only for about 40 minutes. For lighter colors, soak less or use less food coloring.

Cut hard boiled eggs in half and remove yolk. Put the yolks in a bowl and mash with a fork until it’s crumbly. Add the mayo, cream and sweet relish. Mix well. (We use a hand mixer with a whisk or beater attachment – it makes the filling even creamier.) Fill the eggs with the mixture either by spooning it in or piping it in with a cake decorator or plastic baggie.

With eggs as cute (and tasty!) as these, your guests will forget all about that Easter egg hunt.
