Ingredients for Halloween-Themed Deviled Eggs

To get started, you will need the following ingredients for both types of Halloween-themed deviled eggs:

1. Hard-Boiled Eggs: You’ll need a dozen eggs for each batch of deviled eggs.
2. Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup for the filling.
3. Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon to add a touch of smoky flavor.
4. Garlic Salt: 1/2 teaspoon for a savory kick.
5. Ground Mustard: 1/2 teaspoon to enhance the flavor.
6. Blue and Red Food Coloring: For creating the green filling and the spooky details.
7. Black Olives: Use halved olives for the spiders’ bodies and heads, and sliced olives for the legs.
8. Pimentos: One for each “eyeball” deviled egg.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Hard-Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool.

2. Prepare the Filling for Eyeball Deviled Eggs

• Carefully peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
• Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and smooth.
• Add mayonnaise, paprika, garlic salt, and ground mustard to the mashed yolks. Mix everything together until you have a creamy and well-combined filling.
• Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the filling and mix until it turns green. Adjust the color intensity to your preference.

3. Assemble the Eyeball Deviled Eggs

• Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the green yolk mixture.
• Place a halved black olive at the bottom of each egg, creating the “iris.”
• Add a pimento to the center of each olive to represent the “pupil.”
• Using red food coloring, draw squiggly lines on the white part of the egg, resembling bloodshot eyes.

4. Prepare the Filling for Spider Deviled Eggs

• Repeat the steps of removing the yolks from the hard-boiled eggs and placing them in a mixing bowl.
• Mash the yolks until smooth and crumbly.
• Add mayonnaise, paprika, garlic salt, and ground mustard. Mix well until the filling is creamy and consistent.

5. Assemble the Spider Deviled Eggs

• Spoon or pipe the filling onto each egg white half, covering the entire surface.
• For the spider’s body, place a halved black olive in the center of the filling.
• Cut another olive in half to form the spider’s head and position it above the body.
• Slice the remaining olives into thin strips to create the spider’s legs. Attach four legs on each side of the body.

6. Serving Instructions

• Serve the Halloween-themed deviled eggs on a spooky platter or tray to enhance the Halloween vibe.
• If making both types, arrange them alternately to create a visually appealing display.
