- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Tsp Mustard
- Green Food Coloring

- Sliced Black Olives
- Red Food Coloring
Instructions
- Prepare Eggs: Peel the cooled hard boiled eggs carefully and slice each egg in half lengthwise to prepare for filling.
- Make Filling: Remove the egg yolks and place them into a mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly until smooth.
- Add Ingredients: Mix the mayonnaise and mustard into the mashed yolks until well combined and creamy.
- Color the Mixture: Stir in green food coloring gradually until the filling reaches your desired eerie green hue appropriate for the eyeball effect.
- Fill Egg Whites: Spoon or use a piping bag to fill the egg white halves evenly with the green yolk mixture.
- Add Pupils: Place one black olive slice on top of each filled egg half to resemble the pupil of an eyeball.
- Create Veins: Dip a toothpick into red food coloring and carefully draw thin, vein-like lines on the surface of the eggs to simulate bloodshot eyeballs, enhancing the spooky appearance.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh black olives sliced thinly for the pupils.
- Adjust green food coloring gradually to avoid overpowering the filling flavor.
- Use a piping bag for a neater filling application.
- Be careful when drawing veins with red food coloring to avoid smudging.
- Hard boil the eggs a day ahead to save time during preparation.
