Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 2 hrs 40 min
Serving Size: 24 servings

Ingredients
2 teaspoons black gel or paste food color
12 eggs
6 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
chopped chives (garnish)
food grade gloves (to protect hands from food dye)

Directions
1In 5 qt dutch oven or stock pot, combine 8 cups of water with black food color. Put eggs in a single layer, cover and bring to boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
2Using a slotted spoon, place eggs on paper towels. Place colored water in fridge to cool. Use the end of a wooden spoon to tap each egg in several places to slightly crack shell. The more places you crack, the more webbing the egg will have.
3Place eggs back into cooled colored water and let sit for 2 to 3 hours.
4When done, peel eggs and cut length-wise. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the egg yolks and set whites aside. Mash yolks with the remaining ingredients. Fill each egg white with yolk mixture.
5Garnish with chives. Serve, or cover and refrigerate.
