St. Patrick’s Day GREEN Deviled Eggs

These festive deviled eggs would look great on your appetizer platter for your St. Patrick’s Day party!

They’re so easy to make and all you need is food coloring!

Ingredients

10 eggs

1/2 cup mayonnaise

mustard, chives, bacon bits, pepper, etc. (optional)

green food coloring

white vinegar

ground paprika

Instructions
  1. Place your eggs in a large pot and fill it with water, enough to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. When the time is up, take the eggs off the heat and rinse them with cold water. Peel the eggs and cut them in half.
  3. Take out the yolks gently and place them in a bowl. Set aside,
  4. Prepare your food coloring mixture. Fill up a few glasses with water and add about 3 drops of green food coloring in each glass. Add a tsp of vinegar in each glass to help the egg whites absorb the color. Place the egg whites in the glasses. Take the whites out when they turn a pastel green color, and place them on a paper towel to dry.
  5. Take your bowl of egg yolks and mash them with a fork. Add in 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. You can also add mustard, bacon bits, or chives to taste. You don’t need to add salt because the yolks are already salty.
  6. Take a small spoon and fill the egg whites with the filling. Sprinkle a little bit of ground paprika over the filling.

Homemade Eggnog

Everyone knows that homemade eggnog is the best!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup rum or brandy
Instructions
  1. To create the milk mixture, combine milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large saucepan. Cook on medium-low heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Stir occasionally.
  2. Now it’s time to make the egg mixture. In a large bowl combine egg yolks and sugar. Whisk until fluffy.
  3. Add the milk mixture to the egg mixture slowly and cook. Whisk until combined.
  4. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens (3-5 minutes). Do not let the mixture boil.
  5. Take the eggnog off the heat and allow it to cool for 1-2 hours.
  6. Add in remaining ingredients and stir in the cream, and rum or brandy. Mix well.
  7. Cover the eggnog with plastic wrap and chill overnight in the fridge so the flavors can combine. Serve with a pinch of nutmeg and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
