once they have been transformed into deviled eggs

Chris and I experimented with some new egg coloring tricks this year.  We tried natural dyes and transfer techniques like posie did this year.  You must need to use a ton of blueberries, beets, pomegranate juice, and spinach to get some color from them.  I didn't have much luck until I added food coloring!  Luckily I am not a purist.  
 

We also did the silk tie transfer thing.   I should have been more patient and wrapped more thread around the eggs.  I have done this once before and had forgotten the fabric must be very tightly bound to the egg for the transfer to occur.  Bottom line?  I like easter eggs best once they have been transformed into deviled eggs.

This was a great batch.   I used the cooks illustrated recipe which calls for a little worchestersire sauce and cider vinegar in addition to the usual mayo and dijon mustard.   They were lip-smacking good.   If I do say so myself.

Are you familiar with the Pioneer Woman? She has a show on Food Network, and two cookbooks. In her new book she has a recipe for a hard cooked breakfast muffin....it involves cooked bacon, chopped egg, cheese, mayo, some condiments...spread on muffins and broiled. Oh my goodness.....a wonderful use for those hard cooked eggs, and really not to be wasted on breakfast: it's my new snack supper with salad and wine. check it out. (she has a good blog also). (of course not as good as yours.) ;O)

My kids fight over the last deviled egg! My mother-in-law dyes them after they are boiled and peeled so the white is colored, which my kids think is great. She is a culinary over-achiever like you...I usually eat half of the filling with a spoon before it ever makes it to the eggs! I'm off to find Sharon's Pioneer Woman. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the hard cooked breakfast muffin too!

Yum! Your deviled eggs look....wait for it.....good enough to eat! Really, all horrid joking aside, they really do look yummy. I'll have to go look at that recipe. My hard cooked eggs are waiting for their transformation.

The eggs, both decorated and deviled, look great!
