Pumpkin Deviled Eggs Recipe

Directions

1. Put the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them completely.
2. Heat the pan over medium-high heat until the water reaches a boil.
3. Once boiling, lower the heat to low, put a lid on the pan, and let the eggs cook gently for 10 to 12 minutes.
4. When the time is up, move the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water so they cool down quickly.
5. After the eggs are cool, remove the shells and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
6. Carefully take out the yolks and put them into a small bowl. Use a fork to break them up.
7. Mix in the pumpkin puree, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and paprika with the yolks.
8. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
9. Continue mashing and stirring with the fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
10. Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a large zip-top bag.
11. Snip off a small corner of the bag to create a piping tip.
12. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves using a circular motion to form ridges that look like a pumpkin's surface. Fill each center completely.
13. For the pumpkin stem, place a small piece of chive or a snip of green onion on top of each filled egg.
