Aren’t these Red, White, and Blue deviled eggs cute?! I saw a few blog posts around Easter for dyed hard-boiled eggs. I thought they were so cute so I decided to give them and try for the 4th of July. They looked and tasted great! These deviled eggs would be a great addition to your holiday BBQ next week.

The dying process is very simple and doesn’t require any vinegar. It requires only three ingredients – peeled hard-boiled eggs, water, and food coloring. I let the eggs sit in the dye for about 2 hours and then sliced them for deviled eggs. They had a great ring of color around the edge of the egg. I thought they looked great! The possibilities are endless! I am already planning on some orange and blue eggs for the upcoming football season. Have fun with it!

  1. Is 20 drops per 1/2 cup of water to cover 6 eggs correct. Seems like it would take a whole bottle of food coloring. I have the McCormick small squeeze bottles that come 4 colors to a box? Thanks

  2. Quick question–did you use your Bledtec to mix the filling? I tried making deviled eggs recently, and my Blendtec wouldn't blend.

    1. I just stirred the filling by hand – it only took a minute. I think a hand mixer would work fine too.

  3. cajuncutie – the color did not melt off when I refrigerated them. The color penetrates the egg white. I didn't have any issues. You should be fine to take them to a party.

  4. These look so cute. From your experience in making these…How do they hold up refrigerated, does the food coloring melt off or anything? I want to make, but I have to travel with them, and worry about the color melting off from being damp in the cooler? Just my paranoia probably,lol!!
