Shamrock Deviled Eggs for St. Patrick's Day
  1. 1

    Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Transfer the hard-cooked eggs to a large bowl of cold water or the refrigerator and let them chill until cold, at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the egg dye according to the package directions in a large metal or glass bowl.

  3. 3

    Gently crack the eggs without removing the shells so the dye can reach the egg whites.

  4. 4

    Working in batches, place the cracked eggs into the dye until it seeps through the cracks and lightly colors the eggs, about 5 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Rinse the eggs and peel them to reveal the green marbled color; slice the eggs in half lengthwise.

  6. 6

    Scoop the egg yolks into a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Mix in the celery and mayonnaise until well combined; stir in the green food coloring.

  7. 7

    Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg halves; top each egg half with a parsley leaf.
