9 extra-large eggs
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice or dill pickle juice

Directions

Make the Beet Pickle: In a pot, combine sliced beets, water, apple cider vinegar, sea salt, black peppercorns, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then cool.
Boil the Eggs: Cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil. Let sit covered for 11-12 minutes, giving a gentle stir during the first 3 minutes.
Pickle the Eggs: Remove shells and place eggs in beet pickling liquid for 2 hours. For a bolder color, crack the shells and soak for 4 hours.
Prepare the Filling: Blend yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, butter, and mayo until fluffy. If it splits, chill and blend again.
Assemble: Pipe or spoon filling into egg whites and garnish with toppings. Serve on a vibrant platter.
