Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp white vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup cooked and finely chopped beets
- 1 tbsp beet juice (from cooked beets)
- 1/4 cup mashed blueberries
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Eggs: Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool for 10 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Make the Classic Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Transfer 1/3 of the yolk mixture to a separate bowl for the classic filling.
- Make the Red Filling: To the remaining 2/3 of the yolk mixture, add chopped beets and beet juice. Mix well until fully combined and the mixture turns a vibrant red. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Make the Blue Filling: In another small bowl, combine mashed blueberries and honey. Mix into the remaining 1/3 of the classic yolk mixture until smooth and the color turns blue. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill the egg white halves with the three different fillings. Arrange them on a platter in a red, white, and blue pattern for a patriotic display.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the classic filling with paprika, the red filling with chopped red onion, and the blue filling with fresh dill. Garnish all with fresh chives for a finishing touch.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips: Use room temperature eggs for easier peeling. For the brightest colors, let the beet and blueberry mixtures soak longer. Chill the eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors. Use a piping bag for neat and professional-looking filling. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Variations: Add a dash of hot sauce to the classic filling for a spicy kick. Swap blueberries for purple cabbage in the blue filling. Garnish with fresh herbs like dill or chives for added freshness.
