Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Decorative Ingredients:
- Red food coloring (gel or liquid)
- Black food coloring (gel or liquid)
- Pitted black olives
Instructions
- Submerge eggs in cold water and bring to a rolling boil for precisely 10 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to halt cooking and facilitate easy peeling.
- Carefully halve each egg lengthwise and gently extract the golden yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Whip the yolks with creamy mayonnaise, tangy mustard, and seasonings until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Strategically divide the yolk mixture, then infuse one portion with dramatic red food coloring and another with deep black pigmentation.
- Artfully restore the vibrant colored yolk mixtures into the pristine egg white vessels using precise piping techniques or a delicate spoon.
- Transform black olives into eerie arachnid embellishments by meticulously slicing and positioning them atop the deviled eggs to create spine-chilling spider designs.
- Refrigerate the ghoulish treats immediately to preserve their haunting aesthetic, or serve promptly to eager Halloween guests.
Notes
- Precise egg boiling ensures perfect texture, avoiding overcooking or undercooking which impacts taste and appearance.
- Chilling eggs immediately after boiling helps create easy-to-peel shells and prevents green rings around yolks.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant Halloween colors without watering down the yolk mixture.
- Consider dietary alternatives like Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, protein-packed version of deviled eggs.
