1. Gently crack egg shells, do not remove shells.
2. I use large clean mayonnaise jars to colour the eggs, turning occasionally.
3. Submerge 6 eggs in beet juice, adding a few dashes of red food colouring.
4. Submerge 6 eggs in jalapeno juice, adding a few dashes of green food colouring Refrigerate 1- 2 days, marbling and flavour will intensify the longer left in juices and by adding more food colourings If using food colouring's only, place cracked eggs in jars large enough to submerge, checking on intensity of colours Remove eggs from juices, drain well and peel.
5. Split in halves, removing yolks.
6. Combine yolks, filling ingredients and any options, adjust to your taste.
7. Refill halves with mixture.
8. Sprinkle with any choice of toppings.
9. Refrigerate till ready to serve.
10. *Instead of deviling, I use my mushroom slicer to make fan out slices of the marbled eggs to garnish potato salade, very pretty touch.
