Description
Creepy Deviled Eggs for Halloween are a spooky, eye-catching twist on a classic appetizer, featuring paprika veins and olive eyeballs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
- Green or red food coloring (optional, for dyeing the egg whites)
- 1–2 tbsp paprika (for garnish)
- 6 slices of black or green olives (for eyeballs)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool completely. Peel carefully.
- If desired, lightly crack the shells and soak the peeled eggs in water tinted with green or red food coloring for 15 minutes to create a veiny effect. Pat dry.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks to a small bowl.
- Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and vinegar (or lemon juice) until smooth.
- Spoon or pipe filling back into the egg whites.
- Sprinkle paprika over the top to resemble veins, and press an olive slice in the center to form an eyeball.
- Chill until ready to serve and watch your guests do a double-take!
Notes
- Chill the assembled eggs before serving for best texture.
- You can tint the egg whites with green or red food coloring for a veiny Halloween look.
