Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Food coloring or natural dyes (beet juice, turmeric, spinach juice, etc.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Chives for garnish
  • Olives and bacon bits for decoration
  • Natural vegetable powders (sweet potato powder, beetroot powder) – optional

Variations (Optional Add-ins)

  • Mashed chickpeas and vegan mayonnaise (for vegan version)
  • Diced jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy jalapeño version)
  • Avocado (for green monster version)
  • Pesto (for pesto pumpkin version)
  • Squid ink or black food coloring (for black magic version)

Instructions

  1. Hard Boil and Peel the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely before peeling carefully to maintain smooth whites.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Slice the cooled eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, black pepper, and any chosen natural dyes or flavor additions until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Color and Decorate the Egg Whites: Tint the egg whites using food coloring or natural dyes by briefly dipping them or brushing the color on for a marbled effect. Allow the egg whites to dry completely before filling.
  4. Fill and Shape the Eggs: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each colored egg white half with the prepared yolk mixture for a neat finish. Embellish with garnishes such as olives to mimic eyeballs, paprika for a blood effect, and chives to represent spider legs.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the filled eggs for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and ensure they are cold and firm for serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for easier peeling and better coloring results.
  • Use a piping bag to pipe the filling neatly and create decorative shapes.
  • Try natural dyes like beet juice, turmeric, or spinach juice for vibrant, edible colors.
  • Prepare the deviled eggs a day ahead to save time and enhance flavor melding.
  • Keep deviled eggs refrigerated until just before serving to maintain freshness.
