Ingredients
Scale
-
- For the Eggs:
- 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Orange food coloring (gel works best)
- For Decoration:
- Fresh chives (cut into small “stems”)
- Extra paprika for dusting
Instructions
- Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks to a bowl.
- Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth.
- Add a few drops of orange food coloring to the yolk mixture and blend until evenly colored.
- Spoon or pipe the orange filling back into each egg white half, creating small “pumpkin-like” ridges with a toothpick if desired.
- Insert a small piece of chive on top of each deviled egg to resemble a pumpkin stem.
- Dust lightly with paprika for color and serve chilled.
Notes
For extra pumpkin definition, lightly drag a toothpick along the filling to create ridges. Use gel coloring for a richer orange color. You can make the eggs a day ahead—just store tightly covered and add the chive stems right before serving. Garnish with parsley for a pumpkin patch effect!
