Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 small beet for purple dye
  • 1 handful spinach for green dye

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Hard boil the eggs. Cool, peel, and slice in half lengthwise.
  2. Remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Divide filling into three portions. Leave one plain, dye one purple with beet juice, and dye one green with spinach juice.
  4. Pipe fillings back into egg whites. Create olive spiders on some eggs, paprika swirls on others.
  5. Chill until ready to serve.

For best results, dye the eggs overnight. Use food-safe brushes for detailed decorations.
