![]() If you're the sort who likes their filling super smooth, you can also blend it in a mixer. My own recipe is to take mayonnaise, mustard, parsley flakes, chives, and salt (in the proportions listed above) and mix them all together, mashing the yolks with a spoon to break them up. You can use pretty much any recipe you want for the filling.Now for the deviling! With a small knife, cut each egg in half lengthwise and set the yolk halves aside in a bowl.This part was a lot of fun! Each egg was like a tiny little surprise. You should be left with a hard boiled egg that has bright veins of color spidering out across the surface. Then you can go ahead and peel off the shell.When you take out the eggs, pat them dry with a paper towel.I did the staining in the evening and let them sit overnight, which worked just fine. Put the mugs in the fridge for at least 7 hours.You can fit two eggs in a good-sized mug (all I had was small cups, so I did two sets of six). Leaving the cracked shell in place, lower each egg in a mug of food coloring.You want a lot of cracks, but not so many that the shell is falling off. You can do this with your thumb or a spoon, but I've found the best way is just to tap them against the counter and rotate them as you tap, to get good cracks all around. When the eggs are fully cooled, gently crack each one in several places. This next part is what makes these eggs so awesome.I made blue, yellow, blue-green, green, red, and purple. So if you're mixing two colors, use 3 or 4 drops of each. ![]()
