1
Add the eggs and baking soda to a small pot and fill with water to just cover the eggs. Bring to a boil and then remove from the heat. Cover the pot and let it sit for 12 minutes.
2
Add the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Gently tap the eggs on a cutting board or counter to break up the shells, but do not remove them.
3
Then, add the food colouring to a medium bowl and fill with about two cups of water. Carefully place the eggs in the food colouring and refrigerate for two hours.
4
Remove the eggs and peel off the shells. Cut the eggs in half and add the yolks to a bowl with the mayonnaise and salt. Mash well until smooth, then add to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the mixture into the hard-boiled egg whites.
5
Use a toothpick to add blood vessels to the middle of the egg whites with the food colouring. Place a sliced olive onto each egg and serve. Enjoy!
