YOU CAN USE ANY FOOD DYE TO DYE THESE EGGS PAAS NEON DYE IS WHAT IS USED IN THE PICTURE. WILTON ICING COLOURS OR CONCENTRATED GELS WORK GREAT BUT USE SPARINGLY. IF YOU WANT A MORE PASTEL COLOuR. AND USE BOILING WATER INSTEAD OF COLD WATER |

10
lg

hard
boiled eggs

dash(es) |
food

1
c

cold
water
|
1
tsp
|
vinegar
for each colour you are using
|
1/2
c
|
mayonnaise
or miracle whip or half of each
|
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.
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
