Description
Simple deviled eggs decorated to look like spiders for a Halloween theme.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (for piping)
- 1/4 cup black olive slices (for legs and eyes)
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.
- Drain hot water and immediately cover eggs with ice water. Let cool completely, then peel the eggs.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- Place the remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off). Pipe a small dollop on top of each yolk filling to create a spider body shape.
- Cut black olive slices in half to create eight small legs for each egg. Arrange four halves on each side of the filling to look like spider legs.
- Use a small piece of black olive for the eyes on the piped mayonnaise body.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a week old rather than very fresh.
- You can use paprika for a dusting, but it will hide the spider effect.
