Deviled eggs are one of the best things about Easter and these Pink Pickled Deviled Eggs are a fun and beautiful twist on the classic! A soak in beet juice in vinegar creates the beautiful pink color on the egg for a creative bite that will impress.

Creative Deviled Eggs for Easter

It seems like Easter is the only time of year deviled eggs are ever prepared in my family, which is really ashamed. This only makes them that more beloved when they do come around though.

Why not put a creative twist on them this year and make a nice spread of deviled eggs with a little variety? Add some Smoked Deviled Eggs and Spicy Deviled Eggs or perhaps Deviled Eggs with Bacon for an amazing mix of flavors. Your holiday guests will enjoy trying something new!

Deviled Eggs with Vinegar

I will never forget the first Easter I attended at someone else’s family. I happily plopped two deviled eggs on my plate and went on my merry way through the vast buffet of food. As I sat down, I dug right into the deviled eggs with a large bite but was immediately taken aback.

Instead of the tangy vinegar flavor I was anticipating, I was struck with the sweetness of sugar. WHAT?! Who makes sweet deviled eggs and how is this even a thing?

My mother and I are both passionate about our love of vinegar. These Pink Pickled Deviled Eggs are the perfect combination of tangy vinegar balanced with a touch of honey and a gorgeous fuchsia color for a creative look.

Beet Pickled Eggs

Although I don’t actually enjoy eating pickled beets, the juice from the pretty pink vegetable is the secret ingredient which brings the amazing color to the deviled eggs. You honestly don’t taste the beet flavor much at all.

My family are big pickled beet lovers. My Mom canned them growing up and would serve them with potato pancakes on Fridays during lent. Let me tell you, to this day I think this might win the oddest dinner combo. It wasn’t for me to say the least.

How to make Beet Deviled Eggs

To make your hard boiled eggs as easy as possible, try cooking eggs in your Instant Pot! It’s a fool proof method that results in eggs that are easier to peel than any other method. The egg shell literally just slides right off the hard boiled eggs.

Add a 1:1 ratio of beet pickling juice and apple cider vinegar to a mason jar. Fill the jar with cooled and peeled hard boiled eggs. Let them pickle in the refrigerator for 12-20 hours. Lightly rinse them off with water and you have easy beet pickled eggs.

When you are pickling your eggs, keep in mind that the longer you pickle them the deeper the color will get and the more sour they will become. The eggs will also start to change texture if you leave them much longer than a day. They will start to get rubbery. I found the ideal amount of pickling time for the right flavor and color is around 12-20 hours.

Tangy Deviled Egg Recipe

I balanced out the tartness of the pickled pink egg whites with a bit sweeter mixture of egg yolks. The yolks are blended with a touch of honey along with the mayonnaise, Dijon, chives and pinch of salt.

To get a creamy smooth egg yolk mixture, I like to blend them up with my immersion blender. It takes all of the lumps out of the egg mixture and results in a beautiful deviled egg.

Add the blended mixture to a piping bag or sandwich bag with the corner snipped. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the pink egg whites. Top the eggs with a sprinkle of diced chives as soon as you pipe them so they stick.

Store the eggs in a sealed deviled egg tray for up to 3 days. They are best served within the first day.

Notes

The longer you marinate the eggs in the beet juice and vinegar, the darker pink and more tart they will become.
