1. Boil the Eggs:
To start, place your eggs in a saucepan, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, lower the heat and let the eggs cook for 10-12 minutes. After cooking, let the eggs cool, then peel and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and set aside.
2. Prepare the Filling:
Mash the yolks in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and relish if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For a unique twist, you can also add ingredients like bacon crumbles or sriracha for extra flavor.
3. Pipe the Filling:
Fill a piping bag with the yolk mixture (or use a plastic bag with a cut corner) and pipe the filling back into the egg whites. You can use a star tip for a decorative finish. If you’re looking to take your deviled eggs to the next level, try making deviled eggs with avocado for a creamy, green version!
4. Assemble the Bouquet:
Arrange the deviled eggs in a spiral or circular pattern on a platter to form the shape of a bouquet. Play around with the arrangement to make it look natural and artistic.
5. Add the Stems:
Insert a baby carrot or green onion into the bottom of each egg to create the “stems” of your bouquet. You can use fresh herbs around the eggs for added color and texture.
6. Final Touch:
For a more polished look, wrap the stems with decorative ribbon. Place your deviled egg bouquet in a vase for an elegant touch or leave them on a decorative tray.
Bonus Tip: For an extra pop of color, use natural food coloring to dye the yolk filling in vibrant shades that match your event theme.
