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.

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.

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!

If you’re a fan of deviled eggs but love mixing things up, then you’ll also want to try these deviled eggs with candied bacon! And I have to tell you… when you have leftover or extra hard boiled eggs, consider making this egg salad recipe that’s really popular!
