Deviled eggs start with hard-boiled eggs, of course, and one of the keys to perfect deviled eggs is an expertly cooked egg. But despite your best efforts, sometimes you cut into your eggs and there's a green ring around the yolk. Ugh!
Here's everything you need to know to avoid the green ring around your hard-boiled egg yolk so you can have picture-perfect deviled eggs for Easter—and the rest of the year.
Let's start with the science, shall we? "It's a chemical reaction," says Steele. "There is hydrogen sulfide in the egg white, and that combines with iron sulfide that's in the egg yolk.

The gases react with the iron and that turns the surface of the yolk a greenish grayish color."

Here's how she prefers to steam her eggs:1. Set up your steamer. Add a few inches of water to a bot and add a steamer insert or basket. If you don't have either, Steele says a bamboo steamer or colander will work. You just want to keep the eggs up and out of the water and you want to make sure you can get a lid on your pot to trap the steam.
3. Cook 'em. Cover and let the eggs steam for 12 minutes. While the eggs steam, put some water and ice in a medium to large bowl.

What Can You Do If Your Egg Yolks Turn Green?
Things happen and sometimes life gives you green egg yolks. If you find yourself in that situation, Steel says to lean into it. "I'd say add some avocado to the filling and add some spices too." Some cooks like to use avocado instead of mayo, which gives the filling a rich taste, a fresh flavor and a green hue, which is what you're looking for if you're in this situation.
