Common Questions About Colored Deviled Eggs
How do I get the most vibrant colors on my egg whites?
The secret is in the dye baths! Using gel food coloring in separate bowls of water allows for rich, vibrant colors. The longer the egg whites soak, the deeper the colors will be. I usually try for 10 minutes to get the most color possible.
Can I make these eggs ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the colored egg whites and the yolk mixture a day in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble them before serving for the best results.
What can I use if I don’t have a piping bag for the filling?
A Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off works great as a DIY piping bag. You can also just spoon the filling in if you want to keep things super simple. For a fancy touch, you can use any pastry bag tip you like.
Storage
That egg filling is seriously tasty. In my experience, these deviled eggs disappear really quickly! If you do have leftovers, I’ve got some ideas for what to do with them down below!
Refrigerator
Place eggs in an airtight container and keep chilled. Enjoy within 3 days for the freshest taste.
Freezer
It’s not recommended to freeze deviled eggs as the texture may change.
Tips
Don’t forget to save the printable recipe card that’s down below. I’m pretty sure you’ll want to make this one again with all the compliments you’ll get!
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully place egg whites in and out of the dye baths for even coloring.
- I like to use the real bacon pieces in this recipe but you can use any kind of bacon bits you like.
- Dry the colored egg whites on paper towels to ensure no water mixes into your yolk filling.
- If you’re looking for a smoother filling, consider passing the yolk mixture through a sieve or blending with an immersion blender.
- Add a teaspoon of vinegar to each dye bath for more vivid colors.
- If you don’t like relish, you can just use the liquid from the relish.
- If you like a thicker filling, add an extra egg yolk to the filling.

How to Make Colored Deviled Eggs
The first thing is to get those eggs boiled. Make sure you don’t cook them too long! We want those yolks to stay fairly moist for this.
- Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half and remove the yolks. Place them in a bowl.
- Fill 4 separate bowls with water. Add one color of food coloring to each bowl.
- Add 3 egg whites to each of the different colors and set aside. The longer you leave them the darker the color will be. I usually shoot for at least 10 minutes.
- Add the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar to the egg yolks.
- Mix everything using a fork until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the bacon pieces.
- Remove the egg whites from the colored water and place them upside-down on a paper towel to dry.
