Tips:

  • This recipe for eyeball deviled eggs can be easily doubled, tripled, …
  • Hard-boiling the eggs – use any method you are comfortable with. I usually place them in a pot with cold water, bring it to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Then cook for about 8-10 minutes (to be honest, I don’t time myself so sometimes it may be even longer). If I have many eggs to cook, I use my recipe for Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs.
  • Peeling eggs can be sometimes tricky. In general, fresh eggs are harder to peel. Peeling cold eggs can also be a challenge so I like to peel them while still quite warm to touch. It goes easier.
  • Always make more than you need as some eggs may crack while boiling.

    If I make these ahead of time, will the red food coloring bleed too much?

      Hi Emily. It will bleed to a certain level but not sure if the length of time they sit before serving plays a significant role here. It’s best to only paint the “blood vessels” very thin. If not sure, try with one egg ahead of time to see how it changes. Hope this helps!
