Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

6 large eggs

Filling

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon pickle juice
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Coloring

A few drops pink food coloring

Instructions

Boil the Eggs: Place the 6 large eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the eggs for 10–12 minutes until they are hard-boiled.
Peel the Eggs: After boiling, remove the eggs and let them cool for a few minutes. Peel the shells off the eggs under running water to help loosen the shells.
Create Pink Hue: Prepare a bowl with cold water and add a few drops of pink food coloring. Submerge the peeled eggs in this colored water and let them soak for 15 to 30 minutes until they achieve a pretty pink shade.
Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks (scooped out from the boiled eggs) with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fill Eggs: Transfer the creamy yolk mixture into a pastry bag or a plastic zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the filling back into the hollowed-out egg whites carefully and evenly.
Chill and Serve: Place the filled eggs in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up slightly for the best texture.

Notes

You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter filling option.
If Dijon mustard is unavailable, yellow mustard makes a good substitute.
Pickle juice can be replaced with vinegar if needed.
The soaking time in the colored water can be adjusted depending on how intense you want the pink color.
Use fresh, large eggs for the best texture and protein content.
