Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 12 deviled eggs (24 halves)

Ingredients

12 large eggs
¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp smoked paprika (plus more for garnish)
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt (to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
2–3 drops orange food coloring (optional for pumpkin effect)
2 tbsp finely chopped green onion (for “stems”)

Instructions

Boil the Eggs Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool.
Prepare the Filling Peel eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out yolks into a bowl. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the Color If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring (or mix in a tiny bit of tomato paste or turmeric) to give the filling a pumpkin hue.
Pipe & Shape Spoon filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the mixture into the egg whites in a circular motion to create a “pumpkin” shape.
Finish the Look Sprinkle with extra paprika for a rustic finish and insert a small piece of green onion on top for the “pumpkin stem.”

Chef Emma’s Tips

Use a piping bag for neat, pumpkin-like swirls — the design makes them extra festive!
For natural coloring, use paprika or turmeric instead of food dye.
Prep ahead: fill the whites up to 6 hours early and store covered in the fridge until serving.
Add a hint of cayenne or hot sauce for a subtle spicy kick.
