Introduction

These Pumpkin Deviled Eggs are a festive and flavorful twist on a classic appetizer, perfect for fall gatherings or Halloween parties. Bright orange filling and a fresh chive “stem” make these eggs look like mini pumpkins, adding charm to any table.

The image shows multiple deviled eggs arranged closely on a white marbled surface. Each deviled egg has a smooth, white egg white shell as the base layer, topped with a thick, creamy orange filling that is piped in a swirled rose shape, creating a textured and visually appealing layer. Green chive pieces are placed at the side of each deviled egg, acting like stems to the orange swirl flowers. The colors contrast well, with the bright orange filling standing out against the white eggs and the green chive blades adding a fresh accent. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 dozen Large Eggs
1 cup Miracle Whip

3 tablespoons Yellow or Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1-2 drops Orange Food Color or Icing Gel

Fresh Chives

Instructions

Step 1: Add eggs to a large pot and cover with cold water, about an inch above the eggs.
Step 2: Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot, remove from heat, and set a timer for 11 minutes.

Step 3: Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath until fully cooled, then carefully peel the shells.
Step 4: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.
Step 5: Add Miracle Whip, mustard, salt, black pepper, and orange food coloring to the yolks. Whisk until smooth and evenly colored.

Step 6: Fill an icing bag fitted with a star tip with the yolk mixture. Pipe swirls into the egg white halves where the yolks were removed.
Step 7: Cut fresh chives into 1/2 inch pieces and place one piece on top of each egg to resemble the pumpkin stem.

Tips & Variations

Use Dijon mustard for a tangier filling or yellow mustard for a milder flavor depending on your preference.

For a spicier kick, add a small pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the filling.
If you don’t have orange food coloring, mix a small amount of paprika or carrot juice into the yolk mixture for a natural orange tint.
Fresh chives make the best stem, but you can substitute with thinly sliced green onion tops in a pinch.

Storage

Store the deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture and flavor, fill the egg whites fresh before serving. Leftover filling can be stored separately for up to 2 days and gently stirred before use.

How to Serve

A white round plate with seven halved hard-boiled eggs arranged neatly, each egg half filled with a thick, smooth, bright orange filling piped in a swirl pattern to resemble a flower, with a small green chive piece inserted at the top edge of each filling to mimic a pumpkin stem. The background features a white marbled texture, with two small orange pumpkin decorations blurred behind the plate, adding a festive touch. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip?

Yes, mayonnaise works well as a substitute and will give the filling a richer, creamier taste. Adjust seasoning to taste.

How do I prevent the eggs from being rubbery?

Avoid overcooking by removing the pot from heat once boiling and letting eggs sit covered for 11 minutes. Cooling quickly in ice water also helps achieve tender whites.
