Ingredients
Scale
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 12 hard boiled eggs peeled, halved, whites and yolks separated
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For Decoration:
- Purple food coloring
- Sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
- Orange food coloring
- Curly parsley
- Green food coloring
- Black sesame seeds
- Pitted whole black olives
Instructions
- Prepare the yolk mixture: Place egg yolks in a small bowl and use a fork to crush until smooth and no large chunks remain. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt; stir with a fork until well combined.
- Divide the filling: Decide how many varieties of Halloween deviled eggs you want to make. For all four, divide the yolk mixture evenly into four small bowls. Set aside the corresponding number of egg whites (6 halves per variety).
- Make eyeball eggs: Stir purple food coloring into one portion of yolk mixture a few drops at a time until desired color is achieved. Fill egg whites with purple yolk mixture. Slice pimento-stuffed green olives crosswise into eyeball-like pieces and top each egg with one slice.
- Make pumpkin eggs: Stir orange food coloring into another portion of yolk mixture a few drops at a time until desired color is achieved. Fill egg whites with orange yolk mixture. Use a toothpick to draw lines resembling pumpkin creases on the yolk surface. Garnish each with a small piece of curly parsley to mimic pumpkin stems.
- Make spooky green eggs: Stir green food coloring into another portion of yolk mixture until the desired green shade is achieved. Fill egg whites with the green yolk mixture and sprinkle with black sesame seeds for a spooky effect.
- Make spider eggs: Use the last portion of yolk mixture without adding coloring. Fill egg whites with the plain yolk mixture. Cut black olives into halves or slices to create spider bodies and legs, and arrange them on top of each egg to resemble spiders.
Notes
- Use food-safe gloves when handling food coloring to prevent staining.
- If you don’t have black sesame seeds, finely chopped black olives can be a substitute for the spooky green eggs.
- Hard boil eggs ahead of time and keep refrigerated to save preparation time.
- Adjust food coloring amounts gradually to ensure the best color without overpowering the egg yolk flavor.
- For a creamier filling, you can add a teaspoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the yolk mixture.
