Oh, deviled eggs! They just scream “party,” don’t they? Especially when they look as fun as these Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs. For me, deviled eggs bring back so many happy memories.

She’d make these simple, beautiful egg dishes that were always the first to disappear from the table.

When I moved to the US, I discovered deviled eggs. They felt like a playful twist on something familiar. And what could be more perfect for a summer gathering or a patriotic holiday than turning them into a vibrant red, white, and blue treat? These aren’t just tasty; they’re a real showstopper!

Ingredients for Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs

Gathering your ingredients is the first step to making these fun deviled eggs! You’ll need one dozen hard-boiled eggs, peeled and ready to go. For the creamy filling, grab half a cup of good mayonnaise and a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for a little kick. Don’t forget the seasonings: a quarter teaspoon of salt and just an eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper. And of course, for those vibrant colors, you’ll need red and blue food coloring.

Equipment Needed

You won’t need a ton of fancy gadgets for these red, white & blue deviled eggs. A medium bowl for the yolks is essential. You’ll also need a fork for mashing. Three small bowls will help you separate and color the filling. If you want them to look extra pretty, grab a spoon or a piping bag. That’s really it!

How to Prepare Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs

Making these colorful deviled eggs is a breeze! First, take your peeled hard-boiled eggs and carefully cut them in half longways. This gives you two perfect halves.

Now, gently scoop out those bright yellow yolks. Put them into a medium bowl. Set those empty egg white halves aside on your platter for a moment.

Use a fork to mash the yolks really well until they are smooth. You don’t want any big lumps!

Add the mayonnaise, that little bit of Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir it all up until it’s nice and creamy. It should look like a smooth paste.

Divide this creamy yolk mixture evenly into three separate small bowls. Try to make each portion about the same size.

In one bowl, add a drop or two of red food coloring. Mix it until the color is even throughout. In another bowl, add blue food coloring and mix until it’s a beautiful blue. Leave the third bowl plain; that’s your white filling!

Now for the fun part! Spoon or pipe the colored yolk mixtures back into the waiting egg white halves. Alternate the colors as you go. This makes your platter look so festive!

Once they are all filled, arrange your red, white & blue deviled eggs on a serving platter. Pop them in the fridge! Letting them chill for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors really come together. Plus, they taste best when they are nice and cold.

Tips for Perfect Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs

Getting those perfect red, white & blue deviled eggs is easy with a few simple tricks. For starters, peeling hard-boiled eggs can be tricky! I find that using slightly older eggs helps, and peeling them under cool running water makes the shell slide right off.

To get really bright, vibrant colors for your red, white, and blue fillings, I always recommend using gel food coloring instead of liquid. A little bit goes a long way, and the colors are much more intense.

If you want a really polished look, try using a piping bag with a star tip to fill your egg whites. It makes them look so professional, and it’s actually quite fun! Just load up each color in its own bag and pipe away.

Variations for Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs

While these red, white & blue deviled eggs are fantastic as is, you can totally play around with them! For a little extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of paprika on the white ones. A tiny pinch of garlic powder in the filling can be nice too. You could even top them with finely chopped chives or a tiny piece of red bell pepper for garnish. Get creative with your red, white, and blue theme!

Serving and Storing Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs

Once your red, white & blue deviled eggs are perfectly chilled, arrange them on a pretty platter. They are ready to serve right from the fridge! If you happen to have any left over (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within 2-3 days. Do not try to reheat deviled eggs; they are meant to be enjoyed cold.

Frequently Asked Questions About Red, White & Blue Deviled Eggs

Got questions about making these fun deviled eggs? Here are a few common ones I hear:

Can I make the filling ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the colored yolk filling a day in advance. Just keep the separate colors in airtight containers in the fridge. Fill the egg whites right before you plan to serve for the freshest look.

How do I get the food coloring to mix evenly? Just keep stirring! Sometimes it takes a little bit of mixing to get a uniform color throughout the yolk mixture. Gel coloring helps achieve this quickly.

What’s the best way to transport these for a party? Use a deviled egg carrier if you have one; they really keep everything in place. If not, arrange them snugly on a platter with a lid or cover them carefully with plastic wrap.

Can I use different colors? Absolutely! While these are perfect for patriotic holidays, you can use any food coloring you like for different themes or parties. Think pastels for Easter or green for St. Patrick’s Day!
