Ingredients – Simple but Spooky
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp vinegar or pickle juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Food coloring (red, green, purple, or black gel)

How to Make Spooky Halloween Deviled Eggs
Step 1: Boil and Cool the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to ice water to cool.
Step 2: Crack and Color the Eggs (Optional for “Spiderweb” Eggs)
Lightly crack shells of boiled eggs but don’t peel. Soak in a bowl of water mixed with a few drops of food coloring for 30 minutes. Peel to reveal eerie, veined shells.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Halve eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into a bowl. Mash with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until creamy. Tint the mixture with green or orange food coloring for a festive effect.
Step 4: Pipe and Decorate
Spoon or pipe filling back into egg whites. Top with sliced olives to create spiders, drizzle with red food gel for “bloodshot eyeballs,” or sprinkle with paprika for a fiery look.
Spooky Decoration Ideas

- Eyeball Eggs: Green filling with an olive “pupil” and red food coloring “veins.”
- Pumpkin Eggs: Orange-tinted yolk mixture with a small chive “stem.”
- Witchy Eggs: Dust with smoked paprika and top with a jalapeño “witch hat.”
