Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon mustard

  • Paprika, for garnish For a 'bloody' effect.
  • Black olives, sliced For creepy eyeballs on top.
  • Chives or green onion tops For extra spookiness.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for about 12-14 minutes.
  3. Transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath for about 5 minutes to cool.
  4. Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs under running water to remove stubborn bits.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly, then add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  7. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the halved egg whites or use a piping bag for presentation.
  8. Sprinkle each egg with paprika and top with a slice of black olive to create 'creepy eyeballs.' Use chives or green onion tops for 'spider legs.'

Notes

A ziplock bag with a corner cut off can serve as a piping bag. Feel free to customize flavors by adding sriracha for heat.
