Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs fresh large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 small olive pitted, sliced into discs
  • 1 drop green food coloring for the yolk centers

Equipment

  • Kitchen knife
  • Boiling pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Piping bag or spoon
  • Small knife or toothpick

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a boiling pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cook for 9-10 minutes until fully set. Transfer eggs to ice water to cool completely, which helps the shells peel easily.
  2. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel carefully to reveal smooth, white eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife, and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving platter.
  3. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly, then add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick paste.
  4. Divide the yolk mixture evenly and spoon or pipe it back into the hollowed egg whites, creating a smooth, filled appearance.
  5. Prepare the green centers by adding a tiny drop of green food coloring to a small portion of the yolk mixture, and mix well to create a vivid green hue. Using a small spoon or piping bag, add a small dollop of this green mixture into the center of each filled egg, pressing lightly to ensure it stays in place.
  6. Cut the olive into tiny discs to resemble pupils. Place a single olive slice in the green center of each egg to mimic an unsettling eyeball, pressing gently to secure.
  7. Arrange the decorated eggs on a serving platter. For a more creepy effect, you can slightly tilt or position some eggs at an angle for added visual interest.
  8. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to display at your Halloween feast. Enjoy these eerie yet delicious deviled eggs, which combine creamy texture with a spooky appearance.
