Ingredients for Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
I’m pretty sure you have all of these ingredients in your kitchen, so these deviled eggs are ready in about 15 minutes!
- 8 hard boiled eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 1-2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- red food coloring
- yellow food coloring
- fresh chives
See the printable recipe card below for quantities and the easy steps to make this appetizer recipe.
Instructions
- Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set egg whites aside.
- In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, onions, dijon mustard, paprika and salt. Stir in 2 drops of red food coloring and 1 drop of yellow food coloring.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the egg yolks. Mix well until the yolk mixture is smooth, creamy and a consistent orange color.
- Place the yolk mixture into a disposable piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the filling into the hollow of the egg halves. Add a chive to the top of each egg for the pumpkin stem.
- Place the pumpkin deviled eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!
Substitutions & Variations
I know that there are different yolks for different folks, so here are a few suggestions for way to adjust this recipe for your particular preferences.
- Omit the onions – I think the onions give the filling a nice little crunch, but if your family prefers, you can leave the onions out.
- Use regular mustard – Dijon mustard can be replaced with regular yellow mustard in this hard boiled egg recipe.
- Add bacon – If you haven’t had bacon in a deviled egg, you might be missing out!
- Herbs – feel free to add a tablespoon or two of chopped fresh herbs to the filling. Dill, parsley or even cilanto can add a fresh pop to the filling.
- Spice it up! – Replace the regular paprika with smoked paprika for a little heat in the yolk mixture filling.
- Jack-o-lanterns – If you want to transform our pumpkin deviled eggs into a spooky treat, add small bits of black olives as eyes, nose and a mouth for jack-o-lantern deviled eggs.
Storage
You can store the prepared eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
We do not recommend freezing the pumpkin deviled eggs.
Top tip
Since the filling already has mayonnaise and seasonings, leftover deviled eggs (if there is such a thing!) can be chopped for a quick egg salad!

Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 8 hard boiled eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 1-2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- red food coloring
- yellow food coloring
- fresh chives
Instructions
- Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and put them in a bowl. Set egg whites aside.
- In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, onions, dijon mustard and spices. Stir in 2 drops of red food coloring and 1 drop of yellow food coloring.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the egg yolks. Mix well until the yolk mixture is smooth, creamy and a consistent orange color.
- Place the yolk mixture into a disposable piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe the filling into the hollow of the egg halves. Add a chive to the top of the egg for the pumpkin stem.
- Place the eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!
Notes
- I used gel food coloring for this recipe but you can use liquid food coloring as well, just make sure it is food safe.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, you can transfer the egg yolk mixture into a ziploc bag, squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Using scissors, cut off a corner of the bag and squeeze the mixture into the eggs to make the pumpkin design.
- You can definitely make these deviled eggs ahead of time. Boil the eggs, prepare the yolk mixture and store them in the refrigerator. When you are ready to make the eggs, allow the yolk to soften up a bit, pipe the filling, add the chives and serve.
