Ingredients
– 6 large eggs
– 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Black olives or cut black olives (for decoration)
– Sliced almonds (for ghost features)
– Food coloring (optional, for added spookiness, like green or purple)
Instructions
To create your Spooky Deviled Eggs, follow these straightforward steps:
1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and turn off the heat. Let them sit for about 12-15 minutes.
2. Cool and Peel: After boiling, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes to stop cooking. Peel the eggs gently under cold running water.
3. Slice the Eggs: Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl and place the egg whites on a serving platter.
4. Prepare the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork and mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
5. Dress for Spookiness: If you want an eerie green or purple color, add a few drops of food coloring to the yolk mixture and stir until evenly colored.
6. Fill the Eggs: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture generously.
7. Create Faces: Use sliced almonds for ghostly eyebrows and mouths. Cut black olives into small pieces for eyes, placing them on top of the filling. Be creative with the designs to make the eggs look spooky!
8. Chill and Serve: Put the decorated eggs in the fridge until serving time. This helps the flavors meld and makes the presentation even better.
