Ingredients for Jell-O Deviled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 package (3 ounces) flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O)
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish (optional)
How to Make Jell-O Deviled Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare the Jell-O mixture. In a medium bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Stir in the cold water. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate it until it’s firm, about 4 hours.
- Once the eggs are done, drain them and rinse them under cold water. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites or use a piping bag for a neater presentation.
- Carefully remove the Jell-O from the dish and cut it into small cubes. Place a cube of Jell-O on top of each deviled egg.
- Sprinkle the eggs with paprika, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the Jell-O deviled eggs immediately, or cover and refrigerate them until ready to serve.
