Peel and Slice

Dye the Egg Halves

• Make the dye baths. Add the hot water, vinegar, and dye to small bowls or cups. Stir to combine.

• Place egg halves (white halves only) carefully into the dye baths.

• Remove using a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain and dry.
• For best results, let the egg whites sit until completely dry before filling.
