What You’ll Need

Fill a large pot with water and gently place the eggs inside. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for 10-12 minutes.

Once boiled, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. Gently crack the shells and peel under running water for easier removal.

Step 3: Creating the Pretty Pink Hue

In a small bowl, mix a few drops of food coloring with water. Dip the peeled eggs into the mixture, allowing them to soak until they’ve reached your desired shade.

Step 4: Making the Delicious Deviled Egg Filling

In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar/pickle juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 5: Filling and Decorating Your Pretty Pink Deviled Eggs

Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle with any optional decorations like paprika or fresh herbs.

Step 6: Chill and Serve
