Description

I wanted a great GREEN recipe for St. Patty’s day but couldn’t really find one, so I came up with this and hopefully everyone will get into the St. Patty’s spirit with green deviled eggs!

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • green egg dye
  • ΒΌ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 small stalks celery from the heart, minced
  • 2 drops green food coloring, or as desired
  • 24 small fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil
  2. remove from heat
  3. and let eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Remove from hot water and chill at least 30 minutes in a bowl of cold water or in the refrigerator
  4. until eggs are cold.
  5. Prepare egg dye according to package directions in a large metal or glass bowl.
  6. Gently crack eggs but do not remove shells so that the egg dye can reach the egg whites.
  7. Place the cracked hard-cooked eggs into the dye
  8. working in batches if necessary
  9. until dye seeps through the cracks and colors the eggs slightly
  10. about 5 minutes per batch.
  11. Rinse eggs and peel to expose the green marbled color; slice eggs in half lengthwise.
  12. Scoop egg yolks into a bowl and mash with a fork and mix in the mayonnaise and celery; stir green food coloring into the yolk mixture.
  13. Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg halves; top each egg half with a parsley leaf.
