Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for dusting
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3-4 fresh chives
Instructions
- Place eggs in a medium pot. Fill the pot with water until the eggs are covered by about 2 inches. Bring water to a boil, then cover and boil eggs for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and let eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and let cool completely.
- Peel shells off the cooled eggs and cut each in half. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a food processor or blender. Add mayonnaise, pumpkin, mustard, paprika and salt. Pulse until combined and creamy.
- Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or a zip-close bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the mixture into each egg white.
- Dust deviled eggs with paprika, then use a sharp knife to create lines down the filling mixture to resemble the grooves in a pumpkin.
- Chop the chives into small pieces and insert one at the top of the filling mixture on each egg to create the pumpkin stem.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips & Notes
- Depending on the thickness of your pumpkin puree, you may need to reduce the amount of mayonnaise by about a tablespoon.
- You can create the festive pumpkin look with any deviled egg recipe by following steps 4-6.

What a unique deviled egg recipe. I’ve run across many recipes for stuffed eggs, but never with pumpkin puree. It’s a perfect appetizer for a Fall get-together.
