Method
Cooking the Eggs
- Boil the eggs for 8–10 minutes until hard-boiled.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool down.
- Peel the eggs and place them in a bowl or container.
Preparing the Beet Mixture
- Peel the beet and cut it into small cubes.
- Add the beet cubes to a pot with water, salt, and the juice of the lemon, then bring it to a boil.
- Let the beet mixture cool, then remove the beet cubes.
Soaking and Filling the Eggs
- Pour the beet water into the bowl with the eggs. If the liquid doesn’t cover the eggs completely, add a bit more water.
- Refrigerate the eggs and let them soak in the beet water for 3 hours or overnight (but no longer!).
- For the filling, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and seasonings until smooth.
- Once the eggs are ready, fill the pink halves with the fluffy mixture.
Notes
These deviled eggs keep well in the fridge for about 3-5 days, covered tightly. They’re great for preparing a day before a gathering but avoid garnishing until ready to serve. For extra flair, sprinkle paprika or chives on top.
