Servings: persons

2 teaspoons green food coloring
6 eggs, hard boiled, peeled, cut in half, cooled, and yolks mashed in a bowl
1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus
2 teaspoons mayonnaise (I use Cain's)
1 tablespoon yellow mustard, plus
1 teaspoon yellow mustard (I use French's)
1/4 cup cooked country ham, finely chopped (I use left over smoked shoulder)
black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons green peppers, finely chopped (optional)
4 tablespoons carrots, finely chopped (optional)
onion, finely chopped, to taste (optional)

1
Pour the green food coloring in a bowl and gently roll the egg white halves in it. Your fingers will turn very green unless you use surgical gloves.
2
Place the whites, hollow side down on a cake rack over a plate or tray to allow to drip-dry.
3
While whites dry, mix the thoroughly mashed yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and finely chopped ham.
4
Season with pepper to taste. No salt is needed as ham is salty.
5
Add green pepper, carrots, or onion, if using, and mix well.
6
Before filling the whites, gently dab the green egg halves with paper towels to remove excess food coloring.
7
When filled place in egg tray or a dish, cover with saran wrap, and chill until serving time.
