Spider Deviled Eggs for Halloween
These super easy Spider Deviled Eggs for Halloween are a great way to celebrate the spooky season. Use black olives to turn classic deviled eggs into creepy crawly spiders. They'll be the perfect addition to your Halloween parties.
Servings: 12 deviled eggs
Equipment
- medium saucepan
- fork and hand held electric mixer
- spoon
- knife
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 - 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 - 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 18 whole black olives
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan with cold water and add a teaspoon of white vinegar. Then add the eggs and bring to a rolling boil. Turn off the heat and cover and remove the pan from the burner. Let sit for 15 minutes then drain hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool. Adding some ice helps the cooling process and shake the pan with the ice and eggs in it and let the shells crack a bit. This will help the eggs to peel a bit easier.
- Peel eggs then slice eggs in half lengthwise, and add the cooked yolks to a medium bowl. Mash yolks with a fork. You can use a hand-held electric mixer if you want.
- Add mayonnaise and mustard to mashed yolks. Mix until smooth and combined. Add the mixture to a piping bag, snip off the end, and pipe the mixture into the white egg halves. Alternatively, you can use a ziplock bag and snip the end off to pipe the filling into the egg whites or use a spoon to scoop the mixture into the egg whites.
- Cut the olives in half lengthwise, then set one on each center of 12 delivered eggs. The remaining sliced olives will become the legs. Cut just the very end off the olive halves, then slice the rest of the olive half into 4 thin strips to make the legs. Arrange 4 legs on each side of the olive in the center of the egg. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
