Ingredients
Units
Scale
Deviled Eggs
- 6 hard boiled eggs
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Spider Decorations
- 15–20 whole pitted olives (black, green, or kalamata)
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Slice the hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl for mashing.
- Make the Filling: To the yolks, add the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and kosher salt. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a piping bag or a sandwich bag with the tip cut off, pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollow centers of the egg white halves. Alternatively, you can spoon the mixture in if you don’t have a piping bag.
- Prepare the Spider Bodies: Slice 12 olives in half lengthwise. Place one olive half, cut side down, on top of each deviled egg to form the spider’s body.
- Create the Legs: Take the remaining olives and slice them lengthwise, then cut each slice into four thin pieces to resemble spider legs. Arrange 3-4 olive leg slices on each side of the olive body on top of the eggs to complete the spider decoration.
Notes
- Use pitted olives to make slicing easier and safer.
- Vegan mayonnaise can be substituted for a dairy-free or vegan version of this recipe.
- For a spooky effect, you can use black olives to give the spiders a classic look.
- If you prefer a milder filling, reduce the amount of mustard.
- These are best served chilled and consumed within a day for freshness.
