Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing the large eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then remove the pan from heat and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
- Prepare a large bowl filled with ice water. After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and chill for 5 minutes.
- Gently tap each egg and roll it lightly in your hands to crack the shell. Peel the eggs under cool running water.
- Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and orange food coloring to the yolks and mix until smooth.
- Fill a piping bag with the yolk mixture and pipe it into the egg whites to create a swirl.
- Using a knife or toothpick, create ridges along the sides of the piped filling to enhance the pumpkin-like shape.
- Insert small bundles of fresh chives into the tops of each piped filling to resemble pumpkin stems.
- Place the eggs on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
For best results, use fresh eggs and avoid overcooking to prevent a green ring around the yolk. Refrigerating before serving enhances the flavors.
