Ingredients – Simple and Scary
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard

- Red gel food coloring (or beet juice for a natural version)
- 6 green or black olives, sliced (for the “pupils”)

How to Make Eyeball Deviled Eggs
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath and cool completely.
Step 2: Create the “Bloodshot Eyes”
Gently tap the cooled eggs to crack the shells without peeling them off.
Place the cracked eggs in a bowl with water tinted red with food coloring. Let soak for 30 minutes.
Peel the eggs—you’ll see spooky red veins across the whites!
Step 3: Make the Filling
Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Mash yolks in a bowl with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Eyeballs
Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites.
Place a slice of olive on top of each yolk mound to make the “pupil.”
Use a toothpick dipped in red food coloring to draw thin “veins” radiating from the yolk area toward the edges.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the color set and flavors meld.
