Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Base Ingredients

  • 12 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Coloring and Garnishes

  • Food coloring (black, green, or red) for soaking egg whites
  • Black olives, sliced (for spider or eyeball garnishes)
  • Paprika or chili powder, for dusting

Optional Variations

  • Diced jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy jalapeño version)
  • Mashed avocado (to substitute mayonnaise for avocado deviled eggs)
  • Crispy bacon bits (for bacon lover’s version)
  • Vegan mayonnaise and silken tofu with turmeric (for vegan option)
  • Beet juice (for natural blood-red coloring)

Instructions

  1. Boil and Prepare the Eggs: Place your eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Cool them in an ice bath, then peel carefully to keep the whites smooth.
  2. Color the Egg Whites: Soak peeled eggs in a bowl with water mixed with your chosen food coloring—black, green, or red—for at least one hour to create spooky colored whites.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Slice eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Fill the Egg Whites: Using a piping bag or spoon, carefully fill each colored egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture, shaping the filling neatly for a polished look.
  5. Add Spooky Garnishes: Top each deviled egg with sliced olives, paprika, or creatively add “spider” legs or “eyeballs” using your preferred toppings to enhance the Halloween theme.

Notes

  • Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
  • Don’t soak eggs too long in dye to prevent rubbery whites.
  • Use a piping bag with a star tip for a professional filling appearance.
  • Adjust seasoning gradually to perfectly balance the flavors.
  • Keep eggs refrigerated and covered to avoid drying out.
