Description
A simple recipe for deviled eggs decorated to look like spiders for Halloween or themed parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup paprika, for garnish
- 12 small black olives, halved lengthwise
- 24 thin strips of black olive, for legs
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until fine. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- To make the spiders, take one half of a black olive (the rounded part) and place it on top of the yolk mixture to form the body.
- Insert two small strips of black olive on each side of the olive body to create eight legs.
- Sprinkle paprika lightly over the eggs for color.
- Chill the eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For easier peeling, crack the cooled eggs gently all over and peel under running water.
- You can use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative look when filling the egg whites.
