Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring (for the “radiation” effect)
- 1 teaspoon pickle relish (optional, for a tangy flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Edible green food coloring (for radioactive glow)
- Food-safe black edible ink pen (for detailing)
- Miniature black olives or black sesame seeds (optional, as “radioactive particles”)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for easy peeling.
- Prepare the Filling: Peel the cooled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a few drops of red food coloring, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Color the Filling: Mix a small amount of edible green food coloring into the yolk mixture for a radioactive glow. Adjust until achieving the desired luminous effect.
- Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, creating a smooth, even surface resembling a radiation indicator.
- Add Details: Use a black edible ink pen to draw warning symbols or place small black olives or sesame seeds at the base to mimic radioactive particles.
- Garnish: Optional, sprinkle with smoked paprika or hot sauce for extra visual interest.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are fully cooled before peeling to prevent cracks.
- You can customize the colors for a more dramatic radioactive effect.
- Using edible ink pens allows for precise decorations like symbols or warning signs.
- For a smokier or more radioactive look, add smoked paprika or hot sauce to the filling.
- Serve within 2 days for best freshness and visual appeal.
