Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for boiling
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika or fresh chives, for garnish
  • 1 medium red beet, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 cups water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar, divided

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add a big pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, then peel.
  2. While eggs cool, make the natural dyes. In one small saucepan, combine chopped beet with 1 cup water and 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar. In another, combine blueberries with 1 cup water and 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar. Simmer each for 30 minutes. Strain each into separate bowls and let cool completely.
  3. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove yolks to a medium bowl. Arrange white halves in two shallow dishes. Pour cooled beet dye over one set and blueberry dye over the other, ensuring they are submerged. Soak for 30-60 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to dry.
  4. Mash egg yolks until fine. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk filling into the dyed egg white halves. Arrange on a platter in a red, white, and blue pattern. Garnish with a dusting of paprika or a small piece of fresh chive. Serve.

Notes

For best results, let dyes cool completely before adding egg whites. The filling can be made a day ahead. Assemble within 1-2 hours of serving for optimal presentation. Do not freeze.
