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 yolk mixture. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and mash with a fork until no large chunks remain. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt, stirring with a fork until smooth and well combined.
- Divide yolk filling. Determine how many varieties you want to make. For all four varieties, divide the yolk mixture evenly into four separate small bowls and set aside 6 egg whites per variety. Adjust the division if making fewer varieties.
- Make Eyeball Deviled Eggs. Add purple food coloring a few drops at a time to one yolk mixture until desired purple color is reached. Fill the egg whites with this mixture. Slice pimento-stuffed green olives crosswise to create eyeball shapes and top each filled egg with an olive slice.
- Make Pumpkin Deviled Eggs. Add orange food coloring a few drops at a time to another yolk mixture until desired orange color is achieved. Fill egg whites with this orange mixture. Use a toothpick to draw vertical lines on the yolk filling to mimic pumpkin creases. Garnish with a small piece of curly parsley on top as the pumpkin stem.
- Make Spooky Green Deviled Eggs. Blend green food coloring into another portion of yolk mixture until the desired green shade is obtained. Fill the egg whites with this green mixture and sprinkle black sesame seeds on top for a spooky effect.
- Make Spider Deviled Eggs. Use the plain yolk mixture without added food coloring to fill the remaining egg whites. To create spiders, cut black olives in half either crosswise or lengthwise to form bodies. Slice some olive halves thinly to create legs. Arrange the olive spider parts on top of each filled egg to complete the look.
Notes
- Hard boil eggs for about 10-12 minutes and cool in ice water for easier peeling.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant colors without thinning the yolk mixture.
- Adjust salt and mustard to taste for a more flavorful filling.
- Prepare decorations in advance to streamline assembly.
- Store deviled eggs covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
