How To Make Multi-Colored Deviled Eggs

Multi-colored deviled eggs are so simple to create and look so pretty! I’ll show you how to create these two-tone deviled eggs in just a few steps.

A lot of people ask me how I make my deviled eggs multi-colored. It’s such a fun trick that’s so easy to do! 

Deviled eggs with the egg white dyed is fairly common, but I’ve never really liked the look, myself.I think a multi-colored filling is more unexpected and fun. You can use the technique below to add more than just two colors, too!

Multi-Colored Deviled Eggs – Step by Step:

All you need are two small bowls (if you’re doing 2 colors), 2 squares of cellophane and a pretty, natural food dye. You can also use another ingredient with a similar consistency as your egg-filling, like hummus or creamy guacamole. 

You’ll also need a pastry pipping bag and a pretty tip, otherwise you’ll have trouble getting your colors to blend nicely.

Full recipe below.

1.  You can use almost any kind of pastry piping tip, but make sure to choose one with an opening that isn’t too tiny. 

2. – 3. Mix your filling and separate it into two bowls. Add your dye to one bowl and mix. Spoon your filling onto cellophane, then roll it up into 2 tubes.

4. Once it’s rolled, you’ll want to snip then ends, then place them side by side in your pastry piping bag so that the filling comes out evenly in both colors.

These two-tone daisy deviled eggs are similar to the one in the recipe below. They both have ribbons of curry, but this one was a little more subtle. I didn’t add a little drop of dye so the color gradient was more delicate. I also garnished with pretty english daisies and mustard caviar 😉

For the lovely deviled eggs in the recipe at the bottom of this page, I made one curry ribbon of filling and gave it a little color-boost with a natural, orange dye.

Let’s get started! First, by making perfectly boiled eggs and creating a smooth, creamy filling. 

A Few Deviled Egg Pro Tips!

1. I simply use a knife to gently crack around the center of an egg and carefully peel the shell. Then, when slicing my eggs, I like to slice through the center-middle, as opposed to longways. I find the egg-halves will have a more sturdy base when cut this way.

2. Slice a tiny bit off the bottom so your deviled eggs sit perfectly flat. This will prevent them from sliding around the plate.

3. No need to always gouge out your yolks with a spoon. They’ll almost always slide out if you’re gentle. You may sometimes have a little left over, but it’s easier and less damaging to the egg white, to try sliding first.

4. To get perfectly smooth egg-fillings, push the yolks through a mesh strainer before mixing in your mayo and mustard.

5. Wash and gently dry your egg whites so that they’re absolutely perfect before filling.

6. The perfect consistency of deviled egg filling is almost exactly like hummus. If your filling seems a little dry, just add a little more mayo.

7. Always use a pastry piping bag and a pretty tip. It really makes your eggs look so much more professional.

8. When garnishing with a spice, pour a bit into your hand first and use your fingers to gently sprinkle. Otherwise, if you pour directly from the bottle, it’s very likely too much will come out at once, and you’ll end up with a deviled, over-spiced heart break.
