- Mix until well combined with a hand mixer, or by hand (it just takes longer!) and load into a large zip log back fitted with a large star tip.

Notes
Egg Filling
- Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out!
- Also, you can certainly mix the deviled egg filling with a spoon or whisk, but a hand mixer gives you a creamy fluffy texture that pipes beautifully.
- Use a large gallon zip-top bag and large star tip to pipe the filling into the egg white shells, it looks gorgeous and professional.
- Use a large Mason jar and drop your piping tip into a pastry bag or zip-top bag and fill with your deviled egg filling mixture.
Make-Ahead Tip
Boil the eggs, slice in half, and keep them covered on a tray. Fill your ziptop bag with a piping tip, and have your tiny herb and flower pieces ready to go the day of your party, then assemble in minutes right before your guests arrive!Edible Flowers
