Green Deviled Eggs And Ham Food

ST. PATRICK'S DAY DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Remove from hot water and chill at least 30 minutes in a bowl of cold water or in the refrigerator, until eggs are cold.
• Prepare egg dye according to package directions in a large metal or glass bowl.
• Gently crack eggs but do not remove shells so that the egg dye can reach the egg whites.
• Place the cracked hard-cooked eggs into the dye, working in batches if necessary, until dye seeps through the cracks and colors the eggs slightly, about 5 minutes per batch.
• Rinse eggs and peel to expose the green marbled color; slice eggs in half lengthwise.
• Scoop egg yolks into a bowl and mash with a fork and mix in the mayonnaise and celery; stir green food coloring into the yolk mixture.
• Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg halves; top each egg half with a parsley leaf.

DEVILISH GREEN EGGS AND HAM

Steps:

• Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate.
• With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic, and pesto, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Stir in the green onion. Taste the egg mixture and add a little salt if needed; pestos differ in salt content.
• Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.
• To make the topping, in a small bowl, mix together the prosciutto and basil. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat. Top each egg half with about 1 heaping teaspoon of the mixture.

LINDA'S GREEN EGGS AND HAM APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Pour the green food coloring in a bowl and gently roll the egg white halves in it. Your fingers will turn very green unless you use surgical gloves.
• Place the whites, hollow side down on a cake rack over a plate or tray to allow to drip-dry.
• While whites dry, mix the thoroughly mashed yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and finely chopped ham.
• Season with pepper to taste. No salt is needed as ham is salty.
• Add green pepper, carrots, or onion, if using, and mix well.
• Before filling the whites, gently dab the green egg halves with paper towels to remove excess food coloring.
• When filled place in egg tray or a dish, cover with saran wrap, and chill until serving time.
