Creepy Deviled Eggs for Halloween are a spooky and scrumptious treat, perfect for adding frightful fun to your festive gatherings. Delight your guests with these eerie yet delicious snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Black olives (for decorations)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place six eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath.
- Peel and Prepare: After five minutes in the ice bath, peel the eggs under cold running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
- Mix It Up: Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. For an eerie twist, add green food coloring to achieve your desired hue.
- Fill Those Halves: Spoon or pipe the creamy mixture back into the egg whites using a piping bag fitted with a star tip for extra flair.
- Create Spooky Decorations: Slice black olives into halves or quarters to create spider decorations. Place them atop your filled eggs as if they’re crawling out of their yolk-filled hideouts.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange your creepy creations on a platter, perhaps adding some fake spider webs for effect! Watch as these treats disappear quickly at your gathering!
