Egg Bouquet (Tulip Eggs) – Two Ways
Turn simple hard-boiled eggs into a beautiful bouquet! Choose from the classic tulip-cut eggs or a deviled egg version with creamy filling. Perfect for spring gatherings, brunch, or baby showers.
Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs (shells removed)
- 1 bunch green onions (use the firm, dark green tops for stems)
For the deviled filling (optional for deviled style)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Hard-Boiled Egg Bouquet
- Stand each egg upright with the narrow end facing up.
- Use a sharp knife to make a cross cut into the top (dividing it into four sections).
- Cut a small V-shaped notch out of each section to shape the petals.
- Add the Green Onion Stems
- Flip the egg over and poke a small hole in the bottom using a chopstick or paring knife.
- Insert a whole green onion into the base to create a stem.
- Arrange tulip eggs upright on a platter.
- For a garden-inspired look, place them on a bed of greens or herbs.
- Tie a few together with a small ribbon to create a bouquet effect.
Deviled Egg Bouquet (Filled Style)
- Follow the same steps as above to cut the egg but do not cut the v shape instead make the cuts longer to get out the yolks.
- Carefully scoop out the yolks using a small spoon, keeping the petal shape intact.
Make the filling
- In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon or pipe the mixture back into each egg.
Assemble
- Poke a hole in the bottom of each egg and insert a green onion stem.
- Arrange and serve just like the hard-boiled version.
Notes
Recipe can be doubled or tripled
- Avoid overcooking the eggs to prevent a green ring around the yolks.
- Cool eggs are sturdy and easier to cut.
- If using avocado in the filling, a little lemon juice will help prevent browning.
