St. Patrick’s Day has been commemorated on March 17 since Patrick’s death in the fifth century. As early as the ninth or tenth century, Christians were observing it as a religious feast day. The holiday was officially added to the Church calendar in the early 17th century.

Here is my St. Patrick’s Day Devilled Egg Recipe: 

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • Green Egg Dye
  • 2 Dops Green Food Coloring (you can add more or less depending on green you want them)
  • 1/4 Cup Mayo ( any type, I prefer low fat Olive Oil)
  • 24 Small Fresh Parsley Leaves – You can even get right into the spirit and add 4 leaf clovers instead!

Directions

  1. 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.

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

  3. Gently crack eggs but do not remove shells so that the egg dye can reach the egg whites.

  4. 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.

  5. Rinse eggs and peel to expose the green marbled color; slice eggs in half lengthwise.

  6. 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.

  7. Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg halves; top each egg half with a parsley leaf or a 4 leaf-clover

  8. Platter and enjoy!
