Description

These Pumpkin Deviled Eggs are a festive and fun appetizer perfect for Halloween or Thanksgiving gatherings. Creamy and flavorful, they’re made by mixing classic deviled egg ingredients with a touch of food coloring to create a vibrant orange filling. Garnished with chive stems and smoked paprika to look like cute little pumpkins, these easy-to-make eggs add seasonal charm to your party table.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs, hard boiled

Filling

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 drop red food coloring (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh chives, cut into ¼-½ inch pieces
  • Smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Peel the hard boiled eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a small mixing bowl while placing the egg white halves on a serving platter.
  2. Mash the yolks: Use a fork to mash the egg yolks until they are crumbly and smooth.
  3. Mix the filling: To the mashed yolks, add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Optionally, add one drop of red food coloring to achieve a more vibrant orange pumpkin color and mix well.
  4. Pipe the filling: Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip. Pipe the filling into each egg white half, forming rounded mounds resembling pumpkins.
  5. Add pumpkin details: Use a toothpick to lightly drag lines vertically over the yolk filling to mimic the ridges of a pumpkin.
  6. Add chive stems: Place small pieces of fresh chives on top of each deviled egg to resemble pumpkin stems.
  7. Garnish and chill: Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika over the top for a touch of color and smoky flavor. Refrigerate the deviled eggs in an airtight container until ready to serve.
