Description

These green deviled eggs are perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Each marbled egg half is filled with light green yolk filling and topped with a parsley leaf.

Ingredients

12 eggs
green egg dye
2 small stalks celery from the heart, minced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 drops green food coloring, or as desired
24 small fresh parsley leaves

Directions

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