Ingredients

Eggs and Filling
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Coloring and Garnish
- Red food coloring (a few drops)
- Yellow food coloring (a few drops)

Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a separate bowl.
- Make the Filling: Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring and mix until the yolk mixture turns an orange color.

Notes
- Use a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with a corner cut off for neatly filling the eggs.
