Here is a fun way
to include deviled eggs, another Easter tradition, on your Easter menu.
If your concerned that the eggs will taste like vinegar, no need to worry the
eggs will have about the same taste of vinegar as you would if you had dyed
them in their shell.
If you are trying
to do the pastel shown in the picture you don't want to leave them in the dye
for very long. Because the egg is very porous, they will take the dye very
quickly!!! Give them a quick dunk in the water and very quickly pull them out
to see if it is the colour you want. Don't let them soak for long!!!!!
Remove the shells from the hard boiled eggs and slice each egg in half
Remove the yolks from the egg halves and place in a bowl. Set the yolks
aside.
get enough glasses or mugs for the number of colours you want to use.
Fill the mugs or glasses 2/3 of the way full with cold water.
Add 3 drops of desired food colouring along with 1 tsp vinegar to each mug or cup.
Place egg whites in the mugs and allow to sit in the food colouring until
desired colour is reached. I could fit 3 egg whites in each of my mugs at a time
Remove whites from dye and drain on a plate lined with a couple of paper
towels.
Take the reserved yolks and mash them with a fork. Then mix in the 1/2
cup mayonnaise with the mashed yolk.
Pipe or spoon the yolk mix into the
coloured egg whites.
