Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

12 whole eggs

Filling

2 whole avocados
3 tablespoons light mayo
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Food Coloring

3 drops green food coloring
15 drops red food coloring
15 drops blue food coloring

Instructions

Boil the Eggs:
Place the 12 whole eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool the eggs in ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking.
Peel and Halve Eggs:
Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Prepare the Filling:
Add 2 whole avocados, 3 tablespoons light mayo, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Mash and mix well until smooth and creamy.
Divide and Color the Filling:
Divide the avocado-yolk mixture into three equal portions. Add 3 drops green food coloring to one portion and mix thoroughly to achieve a green tint. Add 15 drops red food coloring to the second portion and mix well to create a red filling. Add 15 drops blue food coloring to the third portion and mix to get a blue filling.
Fill the Egg Whites:
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with one of the colored avocado-yolk mixtures, creating a spooky, colorful feast for the eyes.
Chill and Serve:
Place the filled eggs on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.

Notes

For easier peeling, crack eggs all over and peel under running cold water.
You can adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your preferred intensity of color.
Add smoked paprika or chili powder on top for a smoky or spicy twist.
These deviled eggs make a great make-ahead appetizer for Halloween parties.
