Halloween Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup mayonaisse
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- green food coloring
- red food coloring
- 1 can sliced black olives
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large pot. Fill with cold water just until the eggs are covered. Bring the pot to a boil, cover, remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. Peel and cut eggs in half. Place the yolks in a medium bowl and place the whites on a flat serving dish.
- Combine the mayo, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper with the yolks. Stir in single drops of the food coloring until you reach your desired color transfer to a piping bag. ( I don't have one so I use a zip top bag and cut a tiny hole in one end)
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. ( I don't have one so I use a zip top bag and cut a tiny hole in one end)
- To make the "veins", dip a toothpick in red food coloring and then draw random lines across the egg whites.
- Take the filled piping back and fill each egg white with your green yolk mixture.
- To make the spiders, cut the olive rings into thirds to create the "legs" use the rounder olive tops for the body.
Notes
If you have an instant pot, this is the easiest way to hard boil eggs. They come out perfect every time, it is quick and the eggs are super easy to peel. I use the 5-5-5 method. I’ll be adding this recipe soon! In the meantime, Google away.
