Instructions

1
Halve the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
2
Prepare three dye baths by pouring 1 cup of water into three separate bowls.
3
Add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to each bowl of water.
4
Add a few drops of a different food coloring (e.g., red, blue, yellow) to each bowl and stir.
5
Place the cooked egg whites into the dye baths and let them soak for a few minutes until they reach your desired pastel color.
6
While the whites are dyeing, mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are fine and crumbly.
7
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and white pepper to the mashed yolks.
8
Mix the yolk mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
9
Remove the dyed egg whites from the baths and drain them in a colander. You can pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.
10
Transfer the yolk filling to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
11
Pipe the filling evenly into the cavities of the dyed egg whites.
12
Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Divide the 3 cups water into separate bowls—one per color—to prevent mixing and keep pastels pure and vibrant.
Soak dyed egg whites immediately after peeling for best color absorption; whites are more porous when freshly boiled.
Fill the yolk mixture into a piping bag for cleaner, more uniform presentation than spooning by hand.
Bring eggs to room temperature 10 minutes before serving to enhance the creamy texture of the filling.

Substitutions

Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt or sour cream (lighter texture, tangier flavor)
White vinegar → lemon juice (same pH level for color absorption, brighter acid note)
Food coloring → natural dyes like beet juice or turmeric (pastel intensity varies; extend soak time)

Storage & make-ahead

Store assembled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days. Separate dyed whites and yolk filling if making more than 24 hours ahead to prevent the filling from absorbing color.

Common Questions

How long does the food coloring take to dye the egg whites?

Soak egg whites in the vinegar and food coloring solution for 15-30 minutes, depending on desired color intensity. Longer soaking produces deeper, more vibrant pastels.
