I wanted a great GREEN recipe for St. Patty's day but couldn't really find one, so I came up with this and hopefully everyone will get into the St. Patty's spirit with green deviled eggs!
Ingredients
- eggs: 12 piece
- green egg dye:
- mayonnaise: 0.25 cup
- stalks celery from the heart: 2 piece (minced)
- drops green food coloring: 2 piece (or as desired)
- parsley leaves: 24 piece (fresh)

Stages of cooking
-
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Remove from hot water and chill at least 30 minutes in a bowl of cold water or in the refrigerator, until eggs are cold.
-
Prepare egg dye according to package directions in a large metal or glass bowl.
-
Gently crack eggs but do not remove shells so that the egg dye can reach the egg whites.
-
Place the cracked hard-cooked eggs into the dye, working in batches if necessary, until dye seeps through the cracks and colors the eggs slightly, about 5 minutes per batch.
-
Rinse eggs and peel to expose the green marbled color; slice eggs in half lengthwise.
-
Scoop egg yolks into a bowl and mash with a fork and mix in the mayonnaise and celery; stir green food coloring into the yolk mixture.
-
Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg halves; top each egg half with a parsley leaf.
