Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove from heat, letting eggs sit for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking.
Peeling
- Tap eggs gently and roll them under your hand to crack the shell. Start peeling from the wider end, where the air pocket is.
Filling Preparation
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks.
- In a mixing bowl, combine yolks with pumpkin puree, mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assembly
- Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill each egg white half with the pumpkin mixture. Shape the filling into a round pumpkin-like mound.
- Sprinkle paprika over the top for extra color and add tiny chive stems or mini pumpkin seeds for decoration.
Serving
- Arrange the finished Pumpkin Patch Deviled Eggs on a Pumpkin Cheese Platter or a decorative plate.
Notes
Peeling eggs may be easier with slightly older eggs. Shock boiled eggs in an ice bath immediately to prevent overcooking.
