Ingredients

Scale

Egg Preparation

  • 8 large eggs

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Decoration

  • Black olives, thinly sliced (for spiderweb and spider shapes)
  • Paprika, lightly sprinkled

Instructions

  1. Boil and cool the eggs: Place eggs in a pot of cold water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately to cool and stop further cooking, making peeling easier and preventing overcooking.
  2. Peel and halve the eggs: Carefully peel the cooled eggs under running water to avoid damaging the whites. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a medium bowl.
  3. Prepare the filling: Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste for perfect balance.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture, creating a neat mound that will showcase the spiderweb design.
  5. Create the spiderweb and spiders: Use thinly sliced black olive rings arranged in concentric circles over the filled eggs to form the spiderweb. Cut some olives into spider shapes with legs and place them in the center of each web. Finish with a light dusting of paprika around the edges for added Halloween flair.

Notes

  • Use eggs that are at least one week old for easier peeling.
  • Mash yolks thoroughly to achieve a smooth, creamy filling without lumps.
  • Employ a piping bag for a polished, professional look when filling egg whites.
  • Slice olives thinly with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to create detailed spider shapes and intricate webs.
  • Keep the assembled deviled eggs refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and firm filling.
