🧄 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

- A few drops of orange food coloring (or a mix of red and yellow)
- Chives, parsley stems, or green onions (for “pumpkin stems”)
- Optional garnish: smoked paprika or cayenne
🔥 How to Make Pumpkin Patch Deviled Eggs
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, turn off heat and cover. Let sit for 10–12 minutes, then transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool.
Step 2: Peel & Halve
Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks into a small bowl.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or lemon juice), salt, and pepper until smooth.
Add a few drops of orange food coloring and stir until you reach your desired pumpkin shade.
Step 4: Fill & Shape
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly.
Use a toothpick or the back of a knife to create vertical ridges — like pumpkin lines!
Step 5: Add Stems & Garnish
Cut small chive or parsley pieces and insert one into the top of each “pumpkin” for the stem.
Lightly dust with paprika or cayenne for extra color and flavor.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
Arrange your deviled eggs on a platter with fresh herbs or greens for a “pumpkin patch” presentation.
🍁 Tips for Perfect Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
- Use older eggs: They peel more easily after boiling.
- No food coloring? Use a touch of paprika or turmeric for natural color.
- Pipe the filling: For neat, rounded pumpkins, use a piping bag with a round tip.
- Make ahead: You can prep these a day in advance — just add the “stems” before serving.
