Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 cup beet juice or 1 cup water + 1/2 tsp purple gel food coloring
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard Dijon or regular
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar or pickle juice
  • 1 - green gel food coloring 1-2 drops, adjust for vibrancy
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
For Garnish
  • Black sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Medium pot (for eggs)
  • Ice bath
  • Small bowl (for dye)
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Piping bag with star tip (or zip-top bag)
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Gently tap hard-boiled eggs all over to create small cracks in the shell, but do not peel them.
  2. Place cracked eggs in a bowl and submerge in beet juice/purple dye. Refrigerate 1-2 hours (or overnight for deeper color).
  3. Remove eggs from dye, gently peel shells, and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Place egg white halves on a platter.
  4. Scoop out yolks into a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and green food coloring. Mash until smooth and vibrant green. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag with a star tip (or zip-top bag). Pipe generous swirls into each purple-marbled egg white half.
  6. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over each deviled egg for a 'spider egg' effect. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling dye. For best hard-boiled eggs, use an ice bath after cooking. For a less intense green, use fewer drops of food coloring.
