About those colored deviled eggs, please?

16 years ago

Can someone tell me exactly how to dye the deviled eggs, please? Or, can you direct me to a post that explains it? I know it's not rocket science, but I've never done it before. Yesterday I bought some regular food coloring to use. I'm assuming I boil my eggs, peel, cut them in half, take out the yolk and then dye the halves. But, how much dye do I use and what do I mix it with...water?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think my hubby will get a kick out of this...if I can pull if off. HA!

Thank you,

pup

    I wondered the same thing Pup, my eggs are ready to peel now and I'm going to try one in some colored water as a test. Sounds like such a cute idea! Crossing my fingers that it will work. Luvs

    I'm so sorry I was to busy to post before now. I didn't end up making my deviled eggs as planned. DGD wanted to dye eggs and I didn't cook enough eggs for her to dye many so here's what we ended up with.

    I had neon food coloring and she said she would dye the deviled egg mixture and she mashed them and dyed them alright. DGD even filled the whites with the mixture and did a great job for being almost 5. She said look Nana they match your flowers we brought.

    What do you think? Wish I would of taken a shot, once they were cleaned up and the olives were added but had to much to do as we ate at noon today. Good thing DD shot a picture for her to scrap.

    Thanks everybody. Phonegirl, I think those look really, really good! Luvstocraft, how did your's turn out?

    You're not gonna believe the stupid thing I did. I forgot to take my small ham out of the freezer for Easter. Soooooo, we didn't even have a proper Easter dinner. Sooooo, I never even boiled my eggs. It's just me and hubby so it was no big deal. I will do it today or tomorrow and we will play Easter catch-up, I guess.

    Interesting that some people dye the whites of the eggs, and some dye the yolks. I would like to see a pic of the whites dyed if anyone has one.

    Thanks for the responses!

    They do match the flowers, and they are really cute. Your table looks great, too. Sorry about your ham. I dyed the whites on my deviled eggs and they turned out really cute, sorry no pics.

    Pup, I experimented with two cooked egg whites--used warm water with five drops of red food coloring--let it sit in the dye for a few minutes then took it out. Decided it was "okay" but not fantastic, so didn't bother with the rest!

    Punk, I would never have thought to dye the yolks, but those sure look pretty festive! And they do go perfectly with your gorgeous flowers! Tell your little GD she did a great job and made your table look really pretty. ;o)

    I see you used my favorite set of dishes and I love those cute napkin rings too. I also really like the looks of the little painted bunny in the background--is it one of your creations too?
