Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
These Pumpkin Deviled Eggs are a fun Halloween twist on the classic appetizer. Creamy, spiced yolk filling piped into boiled egg whites and decorated to look like little pumpkins.

- Total Time: 25 mins
- Yield: 12 deviled eggs
Ingredients
– 6 large hard-boiled eggs
– 3 tbsp mayonnaise
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard
– 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
– 1/4 tsp garlic powder
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Orange food coloring (a few drops, optional for pumpkin effect)
– Fresh chives or parsley stems (for pumpkin ‘stems’)
Instructions
1. Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks.
2. Place yolks in a bowl and mash with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add a drop or two of orange food coloring and mix until the filling is pumpkin-colored.
4. Transfer filling to a piping bag and pipe back into the egg whites, creating a rounded pumpkin shape.
5. Use a toothpick to gently draw pumpkin-like grooves on the filling.
6. Insert a small piece of chive or parsley as the pumpkin ‘stem’.
7. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
For a healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. These deviled eggs are best served fresh but can be prepped a few hours in advance.
