A celebration is simply not complete without deviled eggs, and these are so pretty they are sure to bring compliments and add to the festivities when placed on the table. The trick here is to pickle the hard boiled eggs in beet juice first to create a bright-pink ring around the rim—not only stunning to look at but also so tasty. With this method, there’s no need to worry about adding extra seasoning to the filling.

Ingredients

Distilled white vinegar

1½ cup(s)

Beets

2 small, peeled and chopped into chunks

Bay leaf

2 leaf/leaves

Unpacked brown sugar

2 tsp(s)

Crushed red pepper flakes

½ tsp(s)

Kosher salt

1 pinch(es)

Hard boiled egg

9 large, peeled

Plain fat free Greek yogurt

cup(s)

Dijon mustard

1 tsp(s)

Kosher salt

½ tsp(s)

Black pepper

tsp(s), plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. In medium saucepan, bring 1 1⁄2 cups water, vinegar, beets, bay leaves, sugar, crushed red pepper, and large pinch of salt to boil. Cook for 5 minutes to infuse flavors. Remove from heat and let liquid steep until vibrant red, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely. Into large bowl or pitcher, strain beet vinegar. Discard solids in strainer. Add eggs to 32-oz mason jar. Pour beet vinegar over eggs, turning jar to allow brine to cover eggs. Refrigerate eggs, turning jar occasionally, until eggs are pink, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Remove eggs from vinegar and slice lengthwise in half. Pop yolks out into small bowl. Add 2 egg white halves to bowl (to make extra filling). Mash yolks and whites with fork until well mashed. Mix in yogurt, mustard, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and 1⁄8 tsp black pepper. Arrange remaining egg white halves on plate. Spoon filling into egg whites. Garnish with black pepper.
