The creamy, flavorful filling pairs beautifully with the lightly pickled egg whites, making them a standout appetizer for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup pickled beet juice (from canned or homemade pickled beets)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or chives for garnish (optional)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Pickled Beet Juice: The key ingredient that gives the eggs their beautiful pink color and slightly tangy flavor.
  • Dijon Mustard: Adds depth and a slight tang to the deviled egg filling.
  • Paprika: Enhances the flavor and gives a classic deviled egg touch when sprinkled on top.
  • Fresh Herbs: Dill or chives make for a great garnish, adding freshness and a mild, aromatic flavor.

Instructions

Prepare the Eggs

  1. Hard-Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Cool and Peel: Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool for 10 minutes. Once cooled, gently peel the shells.

Pickle the Eggs

  1. Prepare the Pickling Liquid: In a bowl or jar, combine the pickled beet juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Stir to mix.
  2. Submerge the Eggs: Place the peeled eggs in the beet juice mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for a light pink color or up to 24 hours for a deeper hue.

Make the Deviled Egg Filling

  1. Slice the Eggs: Remove the eggs from the beet juice and pat them dry. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
  2. Mix the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar (or lemon juice), paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pipe or Spoon the Filling: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each pink egg white with the creamy yolk mixture.

Garnish and Serve

  1. Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle a little paprika over the top for color and flavor. Garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired.
  2. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the Pink Deviled Eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!
