These Perfectly Pink Deviled Eggs are a stunning and delicious twist on the classic deviled egg! The vibrant pink hue comes from a beet-infused pickling process, making them a showstopper for Easter, spring gatherings, or any festive occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Pickled Pink Eggs:
    • 6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
    • 1 medium beet, peeled and sliced
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 cup white vinegar
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 tsp salt
  • For the Deviled Egg Filling:
    • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 tsp white vinegar or pickle juice
    • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
    • 1/8 tsp black pepper
    • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (plus extra for garnish)
    • 1 tsp finely chopped chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Make the Pickled Pink Eggs:
    In a small pot, combine the sliced beet, water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
    Pour the beet liquid into a glass jar or bowl and add the peeled hard-boiled eggs.
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for a deeper pink color.

  • Prepare the Deviled Egg Filling:
    Remove the pickled eggs from the beet liquid and pat them dry.
    Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
    Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.

  • Fill and Garnish:
    Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the pink egg whites.
    Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped chives for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • For the best results, let the eggs sit in the beet liquid overnight to get the deepest pink color.
  • You can adjust the amount of mustard and vinegar to your personal taste for a creamier or tangier filling.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle a bit of fresh dill or parsley on top for garnish.
