🍴Ingredient Notes
- Eggs - Any size eggs will work with this recipe. I prefer getting my eggs from a local farmer, but you can also purchase them from the grocery store.
- Primal Kitchen Whip - This is a Paleo friendly Miracle Whip alternative! It works great in this recipe to create a light, creamy filling.
- Paprika - You'll need a little for the filling and you can also add a sprinkling of paprika on top of each egg.
- Salt - The Primal Kitchen Whip has salt in it already so you will only need an extra pinch of salt! Add more as needed.
- Black Pepper - I like using freshly cracked black pepper, but any type of black pepper will work.
- Large Beet & Water - You will blend them together to make a homemade beet juice for coloring the eggs.
🍴Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Making the Hard Boiled Eggs
Start by boiling a large pot of water. Carefully place the eggs in the boiling water, turn down the temperature, and let them simmer for 12 minutes.
Remove the pot from the stove and drain the hot water. Set in the sink and let cool running water fill the pot. (You can also add ice to make an ice water bath.) Let them sit in the chilled water for at least 10 minutes.
Step 2: Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs
Next, dry each egg and carefully peel them. Rinse each egg to ensure you have removed all of the peel.
Step 3: Cut the Eggs In Half
Then cut the eggs in half the long way. Flip them upside down over a small bowl and the yolk should pop right out! If you have trouble, you can use a small spoon to remove the remaining yolk.
Step 4: Making the Beet Juice
To dye the egg whites, you'll need to make homemade beet juice! Add the roughly chopped beet into a blender with 2-3 cups of water. Blend until you have a smooth, vibrant colored juice.
Step 5: Coloring the Eggs
Dunk each egg in the beet juice for about 15-30 seconds. (Leave in longer for a deeper pink/purple color!) Set on a paper towel lined plate and repeat until all egg whites are dyed pink. When finished, carefully rinse each egg and pat dry.
Step 6: Making the Deviled Egg Filling
To make the filling, add Primal Kitchen Whip into a bowl with the egg yolks and paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix together with a folk until smooth and creamy.
Step 7: Filling the Deviled Eggs
Add the filling into a plastic bag or pastry bag with a fun metal tip! (I found mine on Amazon for $8.99.) If you use a plastic bag, just cut a small section of the corner when you're ready to fill the eggs.
Step 8: Finishing Touches
Pipe an even amount of the filling into each egg and finish off with an extra sprinkle of paprika. Keep chilled until you're ready to serve!
Expert Tips
- For a more vibrant color, leave the eggs in the beet juice longer.
- Make sure you rinse the peeled eggs to make sure you have removed all of the hard shell.
- If you don't have a piping bag, fill a plastic bag and cut a small hole in one of the corners.
- For a smooth and creamy filling, use a food processor! (It works best if you double the recipe.)
- To save on prep time, boil and peel the eggs the day before assembling them!
- Dry the eggs with a paper towel before cutting them in half.
- The color will fade a bit so it's best to serve them fresh.
- To get perfect hard-boiled eggs, make sure you put them in an ice bath after simmering or let them sit under cold running water.
How to store leftovers
Leftover deviled eggs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.
