Dyed And Deviled Eggs
Prep Time54 Minutes
Servings12
Cook Time48 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cups water (each dye)
Blue—2 cups roughly chopped red cabbage plus ¾ tsp. Fresh Thyme baking soda
Pink—1 cup diced peeled red beets
Yellow—1 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme ground turmeric
1 Tbsp. white vinegar (each dye)
8 Fresh Thyme large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
1 or 2 thin slices prosciutto, for garnish
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme mayonnaise
2 tsp. Fresh Thyme yellow mustard
¼ tsp. onion salt
Ground white pepper, to taste
Paprika, for garnish
Sliced green onion tops, for garnish
Directions
- For dye, in a small saucepan, combine water and cabbage, beets, or turmeric. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium glass bowl; discard solids. Stir vinegar into liquid. (For blue eggs, add the baking soda to the red cabbage liquid.)
- Submerge peeled, hard-boiled eggs in dye. Refrigerate 20 to 40 minutes or until desired color intensity; rotate eggs in dye occasionally to color evenly. Remove eggs from dye and pat dry with paper towels. Discard dye.
- Meanwhile, for prosciutto crisps, preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange prosciutto slices in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until dry and crisp. Transfer to a paper-towel–lined plate to cool. Break cooled prosciutto into bite-size pieces; set aside.
- For filling, cut dyed eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and transfer to a medium bowl. Set whites aside. Mash yolks with a wire whisk or fork. Add yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, and onion salt; stir until smooth. Season to taste with white pepper.
- Pipe or spoon filling into halved whites. Cover and refrigerate until serving time (up to 8 hours). Top eggs with prosciutto crisps. Garnish with paprika and onion tops.
