How to Make Halloween Deviled Eggs
These spooky deviled eggs are simple to make but look impressive on your Halloween appetizer tray.
Step 1
Place the eggs in a pot of boiling water and cook for 11 minutes. Optional: Add 2 tsp. baking soda to help the shells peel easily.
Step 2
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step 3
Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy.
Step 4
Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to add the filling into the egg white halves.
Step 5
Take black olives and cut in half. Place an olive half on the center of each deviled egg to form the spider's body. Slice additional olives thinly and quarter the slices to make the legs. Place an olive slice on each side to complete your spider.
Step 6
Refrigerate until ready to serve. These spooky deviled eggs for Halloween will be the highlight of your halloween parties!
