Best 4 Wicks Easter Deviled Eggs Recipes

THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

EASTER DEVILED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Transfer the yolks to a large bowl and refrigerate the whites until you are ready to dye them.
• Mash the yolks well with a fork or potato masher. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar. Mix well, then add salt and pepper to taste, as needed. Refrigerate the filling until you are ready to fill the egg whites.
• Place 1 cup of water in a glass or bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to the container along with 2 to 3 drops of food coloring. Repeat with additional containers of colors. (Note: For lavender, use equal parts blue and red.)
• Gently rinse the egg white halves to wash off any remaining yolk, then place the whites in the colored water. Depending on the color, it will take 1 minute or more to dye the eggs a light pastel color.
• Place the dyed egg whites on a tray and let them dry.
• Pipe or spoon the filling into the dyed egg halves, then garnish with paprika, if desired.

EASTER CHICK DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Slice through the top 1/3 of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon and transfer to a bowl.
• Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped with the egg yolk mixture. Pipe egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites creating the 'chick', ensuring there is enough filling to add 'eyes' and a 'beak.'
• Slice small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 'beaks'. Add a 'beak' to each 'chick'.
• Slice olive pieces into small squares to be used as 'eyes.' Add 2 'eyes' to each 'chick.' Place the egg tops onto each 'chick' to look like a chick peaking out of the egg.

Steps:

• Place eggs into a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Let eggs boil for 3 minutes; turn off heat, cover pot, and let eggs cook in hot water for at least 20 minutes. Drain and cover eggs with cold water. Peel cooled eggs.
• Cut hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks; mash yolks in a bowl with creamy salad dressing, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, and dry mustard until smooth.
• Place red, blue, and green food coloring into 3 different bowls and add about 1 cup water to each bowl. Steep 8 egg white halves in each bowl, tinting the egg whites pink, light blue, and green. If color is too pale, add more coloring to bowls. Drain colored egg whites on paper towels.
• Pipe or spoon egg yolk filling into colored egg white halves; cover and chill before serving, at least 30 minutes.
