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.
