Instructions

Begin by peeling the hard-boiled eggs and slicing them in half lengthwise. Carefully place the yolks in a mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside.
2
In a small bowl, combine the warm water with turmeric for coloring the egg whites. Dip a few egg whites into this mixture, ensuring they are fully coated, and set aside to dry.
3
Next, use the beet juice to dye another set of egg whites. Submerge them in the juice until they reach the desired color and let them dry as well.
4
For the final color, dip another batch of egg whites into blueberry juice, allowing them to soak until vibrant and then set aside to dry.
5
To prepare the filling, mash the egg yolks in the bowl and add the mayonnaise and mustard. Mix thoroughly to achieve a creamy consistency.
6
Season the yolk mixture with black pepper and salt, blending it well.
7
Divide the yolk mixture evenly into two bowls. In the first bowl, stir in the additional turmeric for an orange hue. In the second bowl, add beet juice followed by the beet powder to achieve a beautiful pink color.

Once the colored egg whites are dry, use a piping bag or a spoon to fill each egg white with the colorful yolk mixtures. Feel free to create combinations for a truly kaleidoscopic effect.
