These Deviled Egg Tulips are a delightful twist on a classic appetizer, perfect for spring gatherings or Easter celebrations. The eggs are transformed into beautiful tulip flowers with a creamy, flavorful filling and garnished to resemble a blooming garden.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Deviled Eggs:

  • 12 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for garnish)

For Garnish:

  • 12 green onion stems (for stems)
  • fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Eggs: Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool.
  2. Prepare the Tulips: Carefully peel the cooled eggs. Slice a cross on top of each egg and gently open the cuts to create petals. Remove the yolks.
  3. Make the Filling: Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pipe the filling into the egg whites.
  4. Assemble the Tulips: Insert a green onion stem into each egg. Garnish with parsley or chives and sprinkle with paprika.

Notes

  • To define the petals, trim the egg openings with kitchen scissors. These can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
