mixing bowl

Slice a small amount of egg white off the bottom and top of each egg so that they stand up. Place the slices into a small dish with yellow food coloring and water.
Cut each egg in half horizontally, not vertically, using a knife.
Pull each end apart revealing the egg yolk. Pop the yolk out carefully and place into a bowl. Mash with a fork.
Add mayonnaise to the egg yolks. Mix the mustard and honey together, then add to the mayonnaise. Mix only until just combined. It should look a bit chunky - like gold bars or pieces.
Remove the egg white slices from the food coloring and pat dry with a paper towel. Chop to tiny pieces, then add to egg yolk mixture.*
Gently spoon the egg yolk mixture into each egg white half.
Cut green portion of a green onion into 12 slices about ¼ inch wide and 3 inches in length. Place each end into the egg to create a handle. Garnish with parsley (like a 4 leaf clover!)
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve!

Optional: Reserve colored and chopped egg white pieces and use to top each egg basket, like chunks of gold!
Egg yolk filling could be added to a zippered sandwich bag with the tip cut off to pipe the filling into the egg white cups.
