How to Make Colored Deviled Eggs
Once boiled, carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the egg yolks and place them in a bowl.
Tip: Placing boiled eggs immediately in a cold water bath will make them a breeze to peel.
In separate bowls, mix the red, blue, and green food coloring with about 1 cup of water each. Place egg white halves into each bowl, allowing them to soak in the dye until they reach your desired color.
Once the egg whites are colored to perfection, drain the egg halves on paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
