Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Piping bag
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, then cover them with cold water by at least an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water. After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the hot eggs into the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Roll between your hands to loosen the shell and peel under running water.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and orange food coloring. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe back into the egg white halves, creating a mound that resembles a pumpkin.
  6. Create ridges on the piped filling with a dull knife or toothpick to mimic the texture of a pumpkin. Cut fresh chives into small lengths for the 'stems'.
  7. Place the deviled eggs on a serving platter and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
