Ingredients
Beet Juice
1 cup water
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 large beets, shredded
Egg
6 eggs
1/8 cup greek yogurt
1/8 cup mayo
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
6 cornichons (depending on size), minced
sea salt to taste
fresh chives, minced for garnish
Directions
-
Peel beets. Prepare a pot with water, apple cider vinegar and salt. Shred or slice beets into this mixture, making sure they’re covered with liquid. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for about 5 minutes. Let cool. Drain the beet juice from the shredded beets. Feel free to reserve beets for another use, like adding to a salad.
-
Add eggs to a pot then cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, put on a lid and cook for 10 minutes. You can turn down the heat a bit so it doesn’t boil over. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of water with ice. When done, drain the eggs then place them in the ice water bath. Let cool. When cooled, peel eggs.
-
Place the peeled eggs into the juice for at least 3 hours, or overnight in the fridge for a more vibrant color.
-
Remove dyed eggs from juice onto a paper towel. Slice eggs in half then scoop out yolk into a bowl. Set white aside. Mix together yolk, greek yogurt, mayo, dijon, minced cornichons and salt. Fill each egg white with a scoop of the mixture. You can use a piping bag or 2 spoons for this. Feel free to garnish with chives or other herbs of your choice.
