Calories: 39kcal
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup Miracle Whip
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- Purple and neon green gel food coloring
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Place eggs in a large pot of water over high heat. Bring to a boil for 12 minutes. Remove from burner and carefully drain water from eggs.
- Place eggs in an ice water bath for 10 minutes. Drain water again.
- Using a spoon, gently crack the egg shells all the way around each egg. Be careful on the ends, making sure not to create a large hole. Do not remove the shells.
- In a large bowl, mix water and purple gel food coloring. Place cracked eggs in the water and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Drain water and carefully peel eggs.
- Cut the eggs lengthwise and remove the yolk. Put the yolks in a medium mixing bowl and place the egg whites on a serving tray and set aside.
- Using a fork, smash the yolks.
- Add Miracle Whip, mustard, salt, pepper, and neon green food coloring to yolk filling. Mix until smooth.
- Transfer yolk mixture to a large ziplock bag. Cut a small corner off and pipe the mixture into each egg white.
- Garnish with poppy seeds and serve.
Notes
- The longer that you soak your eggs in the water, the darker the color of the dyed cracks will be.
- Be careful not to spill your bowl of water and food dye, because it will stain.
- It’s important to have perfectly hard-boiled eggs that are cooked all the way through and have shells that peel perfectly.
- You can boil, steam, or use an electric egg steamer for your hard-boiled eggs. Whatever works best for you!
