    Deviled Egg Bunny Feet - A Fun Easter Appetizer

    Published: Mar 22, '15 · Modified: Apr 13, '22 · By: Beth · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Why serve ordinary deviled eggs this Easter when you can present your family with these adorable Deviled Egg Bunny Feet instead?

    Easter deviled egg bunny feet.

    I'm going to guess that even my family, who's used to eating my edible crafts at holiday meals, would be surprised to find a platter full of these Deviled Egg Bunny Feet on the dinner table this Easter.

    Our family, like so many of yours, has a tradition of serving deviled eggs at Easter dinner. It makes sense to put all those dyed Easter eggs to good use. Plus, they are pretty darn easy to make.

    These festively decorated eggs aren't much more work but look like so much more fun.

    How to make Deviled Egg Bunny Feet

    Start by making perfectly cooked, easy-to-peel, hard-boiled eggs.

    • To do this you want to steam your eggs.
    • Fill a large pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a boil.
    • Meanwhile, arrange your eggs in a steamer basket.
      • A steamer basket, which costs just a little over 10 bucks, is an amazing investment. I can't tell you how many times I struggled to peel my hard-boiled eggs until I began steaming them.
      • The process of steaming the eggs helps to separate the shell from the egg making peeling a breeze. Seriously, if you watched the video above you saw just how easy your hard-boiled eggs can be to peel if you steam the eggs.
    • Set the steamer basket down into the pan and put on a tight-fitting lid. The basket should not touch the water. Be sure you have the feet under the basket fully extended.  They'll keep the steamer basket about the water. 
    • Let the eggs cook for 12-13 minutes. Then, turn off the heat.
    • Remove the pan lid and, using oven mitts, remove the very hot steamer basket using the handle.
    • Carefully set the basket on a kitchen towel or in your sink.
    • Use tongs to remove the eggs and set them in a bowl filled with ice water.
      • This will shock the eggs, helping them to cool more quickly, and also helping to ensure the shell and egg white have completely separated.
    • Let the eggs hang out in the chilly bath for about 20 minutes until they are completely cooled.
    • Then peel them. This is the fun part!

    How to easily peel steamed hard-boiled eggs:

      • Place one egg in a small airtight container filled with about ½ inch of cold water.
      • Shake until you see the shell starting to fall off the egg.
      • Open the container and remove the egg.
      • The eggshell should peel right off the egg if it hasn't already just fallen off on its own.
      • Remove the shell and give the egg a quick rinse under cold water to ensure you don't have any tiny shell fragments still attached.
      • Your eggs should be completely cooled and ready to fill.

    Deviled Egg Bunny Feet

    cut hard-boiled eggs in half and remove yolks

    Cut your eggs in half and remove the yolks. Place yolks in a bowl and smash using a fork.

    color deviled egg filling with pink food coloring then press the mixture through a seive to smooth it out

    Stir in deviled egg ingredients including pink food coloring. The mixture will look a bit orange. If you want a truer pink, you'll need to also add some white food coloring (or a teeny tiny drop of purple food coloring). I  would have used some, but I didn't have any on hand.

    To get a nice smooth filling, press it through a fine-mesh sieve or puree it using a food processor. It's really thick and will stick to the bottom of the sieve, so just scrape it off into the bowl. Be sure to mash all the chunks of egg yolk so that no big lumps remain.

    pipe pink deviled egg filling into hard-boiled egg whites, then pipe on toes to make bunny feet

    If you skip this part you may find it challenging to pipe the bunny's toes.

    Spoon the deviled egg filling into a pastry bag or a large zip-top bag and snip off the tip. Pipe three toes on the white curve of each egg then fill with filling.

    If you want the pink pad on the feet to look smooth, dip your finger in some water and press down on the filling to smooth it out.

    If you just can't bring yourself to make or eat a deviled egg with pink-colored filling, you can leave the filling yellow.

    They are equally as cute and will make a fun addition to your Easter dinner, brunch, or lunch.

    NOTES: I grew up eating my deviled eggs made with just Miracle Whip, but there are so many ways to make them that I thought I'd give you two options in the recipe below. The paprika is added for color and taste but the pink food coloring adds enough color, so you can leave it out if you like.

    If you are opposed to using food coloring, you can leave your egg filling yellow or you can use all-natural red coloring (found at health food stores or online). You can also increase the amount of paprika or add a bit of beet juice.

      Grew up with Miracle Whip in my deviled eggs so that is what I still do. But I do up the heat with hot sauce.

      I just thought of beets. I think they'd be really tasty in a deviled egg, plus would make a lovely shade of bunny feet!

      I've never done anything creative with deviled eggs other than pipe them with a star tip, which is not very creative at all. I'm inspired to try some new things, both in and with deviled eggs. I love the bacon suggestion!
