Eggs
Filling
- 2 whole avocados
- 3 tablespoons light mayo
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Food Coloring
- 3 drops green food coloring
- 15 drops red food coloring
- 15 drops blue food coloring
- Boil the Eggs: Place the 12 whole eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely and stop further cooking.
- Peel and Halve the Eggs: Once the eggs are fully cooled, gently peel the shells and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them into a medium bowl, setting the egg white halves aside.
- Prepare the Filling: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the flesh of 2 avocados, 3 tablespoons of light mayo, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Mash and mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Food Coloring: Stir in 3 drops of green food coloring into the avocado yolk mixture until evenly colored. Add 15 drops each of red and blue food coloring separately to small portions if desired for decorative elements or mix completely for a unique color.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the avocado mixture, smoothing the tops or creating peaks for visual appeal.
- Chill and Serve: Arrange the filled deviled eggs on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and filling to set. Serve chilled as a festive Halloween appetizer.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than fresh eggs.
- Adjust the amount of garlic salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative filling presentation.
- Keep the deviled eggs refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and food safety.
- These deviled eggs can be made a day ahead for convenience.
