Instructions

Prepare the Eggs

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit for 12 minutes. Cool the eggs in ice water.

Make the Filling

Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until creamy.

Fill the Eggs

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.

Add the Spiders

Top each filled egg with olive slices to make them look like spooky spiders. You can use parsley leaves for garnish, if desired.

Serve your Spooky Spider Deviled Eggs on a festive platter and watch your guests squeal with delight!

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover Spooky Spider Deviled Eggs, don’t worry! They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. To maintain their freshness, place the eggs in an airtight container. Keep in mind that the olive spiders may lose their firmness, but the flavor will still be delightful. If you plan to make these ahead of time, consider adding the olive decoration just before serving to keep the presentation fresh and appealing.

When storing, try to keep the flavors and textures intact. If you’ve garnished with parsley leaves, remove them before storing, as they may wilt. Simply add them back when you’re ready to serve, and your eggs will look as good as new!

Pairing Suggestions

These Spooky Spider Deviled Eggs make a great addition to various dishes, pairing wonderfully with Halloween-themed foods. Serve them alongside pumpkin soup, ghost-shaped sandwiches, or a festive salad filled with fall flavors. This way, you can create a harmonious menu that fits seamlessly with your spooky theme.

For drinks, consider serving a selection of seasonal beverages. A punch made with fruity flavors or a spooky-themed cocktail can be the perfect match. Think about garnishing drinks with insect-shaped ice cubes or floating fruit slices for a Halloween twist that complements your deviled eggs!
