Description
Pumpkin Patch Deviled Eggs: A cute, pumpkin-inspired twist on classic deviled eggs for Halloween and fall gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika (plus more for dusting)
- Tiny celery or chive pieces (for stems)
- Optional: a drop of orange food coloring for a brighter pumpkin look
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and cover for 10–12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath and let cool completely (this helps make peeling easier).
- Peel the eggs, slice them in half lengthwise, and gently remove yolks.
- Mash yolks in a bowl and mix in mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
- Optional: Add a tiny drop of orange food coloring and mix well for a pumpkin-like hue.
- Pipe or spoon filling back into egg whites, mounding slightly.
- Use a toothpick to create vertical grooves in the filling to mimic pumpkin ridges.
- Add a small piece of celery or chive on top as the “stem.”
- Dust lightly with more smoked paprika before serving.
Notes
- Vinegar or lemon juice adds brightness to balance the richness of the mayo and yolk.
- For extra pumpkin color, add a tiny drop of orange food coloring to the filling.
- Older eggs are easier to peel and work well for this recipe.
