🎃 Ingredients :

6 large eggs
2–3 tbsp mayonnaise (use your preferred kind)
1 tsp Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
1 tsp apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
1/4 tsp sweet paprika (for flavor — avoid smoked unless you want a deeper, smokier taste)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Red gel food coloring (optional — to achieve a deeper orange color)
Green onion stems (for the “pumpkin stems”)

🥚 How to Make Pumpkin Deviled Eggs Step by Step :

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a small mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks until they’re crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and a few drops of red food coloring (we used about 2 drops). Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Fill each egg white half with about a teaspoon of the yolk mixture—using a mini cookie scoop with a release makes this quick and tidy. Smooth the top with a knife to create a rounded mound, then use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to gently carve vertical lines, mimicking the look of a pumpkin. If you prefer, you can pipe the filling for a cleaner finish. Sprinkle with paprika for color, and insert a small piece of green onion into the top to resemble a pumpkin stem.

🔪 Pro Tips

Use older eggs—they peel easier.
Cool eggs in ice water for clean peeling.
Mash yolks well for a smooth filling.
Add turmeric for natural orange color.
Pipe the filling for a neat look.
Prep eggs ahead, assemble before serving.
Swap green onion with parsley, pretzel sticks, or bell pepper for stems.

These Pumpkin Deviled Eggs are the ultimate festive appetizer for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any cozy fall gathering. They’re easy to make, fun to decorate, and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re hosting a spooky party or adding creative flair to your holiday table, this playful twist on classic deviled eggs is sure to impress.
