Ingredients
Scale
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 12 hard boiled eggs, peeled and 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 filling: Place egg yolks in a small bowl and use a fork to crush them until no large chunks remain. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt. Stir with a fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Divide the yolk mixture: Decide on the number of Halloween varieties you want to make. Divide the yolk filling evenly into separate small bowls depending on how many varieties (up to 4). Set aside 6 egg whites for each variety as needed.
- Make Eyeball Deviled Eggs: Stir a few drops of purple food coloring into the yolk mixture until you reach the desired color. Fill 6 egg white halves with the purple yolk mixture. Slice pimento-stuffed green olives crosswise into small rounds resembling eyeballs, then top each egg with an olive slice.
- Make Pumpkin Deviled Eggs: Stir a few drops of orange food coloring into the yolk mixture until desired color is achieved. Fill 6 egg white halves with the orange yolk mixture. Use a toothpick to gently draw lines in the yolk filling, mimicking pumpkin ridges. Garnish each egg with a small piece of curly parsley to act as a pumpkin stem.
- Make Spooky Green Deviled Eggs: Add green food coloring a few drops at a time to the yolk mixture until the perfect shade of green is reached. Fill 6 egg white halves with this green yolk filling. Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top to add a spooky accent.
- Make Spider Deviled Eggs: Use the remaining yolk mixture without adding any food coloring. Fill 6 egg white halves with this plain yolk mixture. Cut whole black olives to create spider bodies by halving them crosswise or lengthwise, and slice other halves thinly into small segments to create legs. Arrange the olive spider parts on top of the eggs to complete the look.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without thinning the yolk mixture.
- Hard boil eggs with older eggs for easier peeling.
- Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your preferred intensity.
- Store deviled eggs in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the yolk mixture.
