Health Benefits

Eggs are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals that help support energy and brain function. Paprika adds antioxidants and chives bring in fresh flavor and vitamin K. This snack is satisfying, nutritious, and full of flavor without being heavy.

Recipe Notes

Make sure your eggs are completely cooled before peeling to avoid tearing the whites. Mash the yolks until smooth for that perfect creamy filling, and don’t overdo the food coloring — just a tiny drop gives the best pumpkin look.

Use fresh chives right before serving to keep them bright and crisp. If you’re preparing them ahead, store the filling and egg whites separately, then assemble closer to serving time for the freshest taste and appearance.
