Get your Halloween spooky on! These deviled dinosaur eggs are dyed with purple food colouring and then filled with an eerily green, creamy avocado-egg-wasabi mixture – perfectly spooky Halloween colours and flavours!

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs
  • Purple food colouring
  • ½ large avocado, seeded and peeled
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, add water and tint with purple food coloring. Gently roll a hard-boiled egg on a hard surface, cracking shell but keeping it intact. Leave cracked eggs in food coloring mix at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Peel the shells off the eggs and cut in half lengthwise.
  3. Scoop out the yolks and place in a small bowl.
  4. Add the avocado, wasabi, lemon juice and salt to the egg yolks and with a fork, combine until smooth.
  5. Fill a piping bag with the avocado/egg mixture and pipe into the egg halves.
  6. Chill until ready to serve.
  7. Garnish eggs with sesame seeds just before serving.

NOTE: If you can’t find purple food colouring, you can mix your own using red and blue food colouring. To make a dark purple mix 30 drops of blue food colouring with 130 drops of red food colouring. Mix to combine then use as required. Alternatively, you can use blueberries or red/purple cabbage if you wish to use a more natural method.
