Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Base Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Decorations and Garnishes

  • Black olives, sliced thinly (for spiderwebs and spiders)
  • Paprika (regular or smoked), for sprinkling
  • Chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to achieve perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Peel and halve the eggs: Cool the eggs immediately under cold running water or an ice bath. Gently peel each egg and slice them lengthwise in half. Carefully remove the yolks and place them into a bowl for the filling.
  3. Prepare the filling: Mash the egg yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  4. Fill the egg whites: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, smoothing the top to create a neat surface that acts as a canvas for the spiderweb design.
  5. Create the spiderweb design: Slice black olives thinly to form web lines and spider bodies. Arrange olive slices in circular or spiral patterns over the filling to mimic spiderwebs. Use small olive pieces to form spiders with legs extending from the central body placed on the web. Sprinkle paprika around the edges for a spooky effect.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs as they peel more easily and produce cleaner halves.
  • Cool eggs quickly in an ice bath to stop cooking immediately and set whites and yolks perfectly.
  • Piping the filling gives a polished, professional appearance to the deviled eggs.
  • Chill filled eggs before serving to allow flavors to meld and help designs stay intact.
  • Get creative with olive sizes and cuts for more intricate spiderwebs and creepy crawlers.
