Deviled Egg Recipe with Relish
Step 1: Boiled Egg Recipes
Start by boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.

Step 2: Cool and Peel the Eggs
Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for about 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently peel the eggs, being careful not to damage the whites.
Pro Tip: You can use a spoon to wedge underneath the eggshells to remove them flawlessly! See image below.
Step 3: Dye the Egg Whites
Prepare two bowls with the 1 cup of hot water in each.
Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to each bowl.
Add red food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to another as shown.
Carefully cut each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.
Place the egg white halves into the bowls of colored water and let them soak until they reach your desired shade.
This should take about 5-10 minutes. Drain the colored egg whites on a paper towel or paper plate.
Step 4: Make the Deviled Egg Filling
While the egg whites are soaking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 5: Fill the Egg Whites
Once the egg whites are colored and dried, use a spoon or a piping bag to fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. If you want to get fancy, you can use a star-shaped piping tip for a decorative touch.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika for a bit of color and flavor. Add fresh parsley or chives on top if desired. Arrange the eggs on a platter, alternating the red, white, and blue eggs for a festive look.
Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs
- Peeling the Eggs: To make peeling easier, use eggs that are at least a week old. Fresh eggs can be more difficult to peel.
- Smooth Filling: For an extra smooth filling, press the yolk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the other ingredients.
- Coloring: Be careful with the food coloring. A few drops go a long way, and you can always add more to deepen the color.
