Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pcs large eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper
- 12 pcs black olives (pitted)
- 0.5 tsp paprika
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Mash and mix the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
To create the spider decorations, cut 6 of the black olives in half lengthwise to make spider bodies. Place one olive half on top of the yolk mixture in each egg as the body.
Slice the remaining 6 olives into thin strips to create spider legs. Place 3-4 'legs' on each side of the olive body, gently pressing them into the yolk mixture to secure.
Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the eggs for extra flavor and a pop of color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy these creepy (but tasty) Spider Eggs at your next Halloween gathering!
