Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 4 tablespoons finely chopped dill pickles
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • 6 ounces water (in each cup)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (in each cup)
  • Food coloring (various colors of your choice)
  • Ice bath (to cool eggs quickly)

Instructions

  1. Hard-boil eggs: Cover eggs with cold water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then turn off heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath.
  2. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a separate bowl.
  3. Prepare the dye: In separate cups, mix 6 ounces of water, 1 teaspoon vinegar, and a few drops of food coloring.
  4. Place egg white halves in the colored water for 10-15 minutes until desired shade is reached. Dry on paper towels.
  5. Make the filling: Mash yolks with mayonnaise, pickle juice, mustard, chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Season to taste.
  6. Pipe the yolk mixture into the colored egg whites.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs or extra paprika. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors. Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. For a fun twist, try avocado or spicy variations!
