Tips for Dying Deviled Eggs
- For best results, use gel food coloring for vibrant, intense colors that won’t water down the yolk mixture.
- Start with a small amount of food coloring and gradually add more until you reach the desired hue.
- If the egg filling is too stiff add a little more relish juice.
- The taste of the egg whites are not altered when dyeing them.
- Get creative with your garnishes! Try sprinkling chopped fresh chives, crispy bacon bits, or a dash of paprika on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
