Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (hard-boiled)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green or red food coloring (optional for spooky effect)
- Black olives (for spiders)
- Paprika or sriracha (for garnish)
Instructions
- Hard-Boil the Eggs:
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let the eggs sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Drain and place in an ice bath. Once cooled, peel the eggs. - Prepare the Filling:
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add food coloring if desired to make the filling green or red for a spooky look. - Fill the Egg Whites:
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. - Decorate:
Slice black olives in half for spider bodies, and slice thin strips for the legs. Place the olive halves on top of the deviled eggs and arrange the strips around them to look like spider legs. Sprinkle with paprika or drizzle with sriracha for added decoration. - Serve:
Arrange the Halloween deviled eggs on a spooky-themed platter and serve chilled.
Notes
- For an extra creepy touch, use different food colors for variety or add "veins" using red gel icing for a bloodshot look.
- Make the eggs ahead of time and refrigerate until serving.
