Vibrant pink beet-dyed deviled eggs with a creamy herb filling that offers a fresh, colorful twist on a classic appetizer. Easy to make and perfect for gatherings or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium fresh beet, roasted or boiled, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives), finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes, then transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
  2. While eggs cook, roast or boil your beet. To roast, preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap the whole beet in foil and roast for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool, then peel and chop finely. Alternatively, boil peeled beet chunks for 30-40 minutes until tender. Drain and cool.
  3. Once eggs are chilled, gently tap and peel the shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the white halves on a serving platter.
  4. Add chopped roasted beet, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice (if using), and chopped herbs to the bowl with the egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Use a fork, spoon, or food processor to mash and mix the filling until creamy and smooth, with no large lumps. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the creamy herb filling back into the egg white halves. For prettier presentation, use a piping bag with a star tip or a spoon.
  7. Refrigerate the filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly. Garnish with extra chopped herbs or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.

Notes

Use an ice bath after boiling eggs to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Roasting beets enhances sweetness and flavor but boiling is a quicker alternative. Wear gloves when handling beets to avoid staining. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt and use vegan mayonnaise. Store filling and egg whites separately if preparing ahead to avoid soggy whites.
