4th Of July Deviled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Place 12 large eggs in a sauce pan. Cover the eggs with water. Bring water and eggs to a full rolling boil. Allow to boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Peel the eggs, rinse the eggs, pat dry the eggs.
• Mix water and red food coloring together in a cup or bowl. Place one egg at a time into the colored water (color 4 eggs red). Leave set until the egg is the desired shade of color. Remove from colored liquid and gently "pat" dry... Do NOT rub! Do 4 eggs Blue. Leave 4 eggs all White.
• Finely mince the celery and onion and put in bowl with the egg yolks. Using a fork, mash the veggies and egg yolks together. Add the remaining ingredients to the veggies and yolk mixture, stirring until well mixed.
• Usining a teaspoon (or get fancy and use a decorator with a large star tip), and over fill each egg white half.
• Refrigerate the deviled eggs until ready to serve. *** This is a fun recipe for the 4th of July... I dyed 4 eggs blue, 4 eggs red and left 4 eggs white. *** I also do this for other holidays and parties... Like for Super Bowl, I use the teams colors.... Easter... Muli colored...

Steps:

• Combine red food coloring and 1/3 cup water in a ramekin or small bowl; do the same with the blue food coloring in a separate ramekin.
• Gently insert 3 or 4 toothpicks about 1/4-inch deep through the center of an egg and balance it so that one end is dipped in one of the dyes. (Don't pierce the eggs too much, or they'll break after you halve them). Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon how strong you like the colors. Dip the other end of the egg in the other dye so the eggs have red, white, and blue bands. Dye the rest of the eggs and let dry on paper towels.
• Slice colored eggs in half lengthwise and set the whites aside on a serving platter. Push the yolks through a sieve into a bowl or use a potato ricer.
• Mix mayonnaise, horseradish, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper into the yolks and stir until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer filling into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
• Pipe filling into each egg white half. Place smoked paprika in a fine mesh strainer; hold the strainer over each egg half and tap gently to dust with paprika. Sprinkle deviled eggs with chives. Chill until ready to serve.
