Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by hard boiling the large eggs; place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for 9-12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5-10 minutes to cool completely, making them easier to peel.
- Gently crack the cooled egg shells by tapping them lightly on a hard surface. In a bowl, combine boiling hot water, thawed and mashed frozen blueberries, and a splash of distilled white vinegar. Submerge the cracked eggs in this mixture, allowing them to soak for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for a more vivid, swampy color.
- Once your dyed eggs are ready and the color has set, peel the shells carefully. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, liquid chlorophyll, salt, black pepper, dill, chives, and crushed garlic to the yolks. Mash until creamy and well combined.
- With your creamy filling prepared, carefully spoon or pipe the mixture back into the halves of the dyed egg whites. You can use a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off for a more artistic look.
- To add the final touch, sprinkle poppy seeds over the topped fillings for a textural contrast and a creepy effect.
- Chill your Halloween deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to ensure they’re refreshing when served. Present on a spooky-themed platter to wow your guests.
