Equipment
- Pot for boiling eggs
- Sharp Knife
- Small piping bag or plastic bag
- Toothpicks or small scissors
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs farm-fresh for best firmness
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise good quality or Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil smoky or fruity
- 10 small black olives for pupils
- 1 drop red food coloring or pimento start small
- 1/4 tsp paprika or smoked paprika for dusting
Instructions
- Gently bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Carefully lower in the eggs using a slotted spoon and cook for exactly 10 minutes until the yolks are firm.
- Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath and let them cool for at least 10 minutes. This makes peeling easier and helps the eggs set.
- Peel the eggs carefully, keeping the whites intact. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
- Remove the yolks into a bowl and mash them with a fork. Mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, a tiny drop of red food coloring, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is vibrant and smooth.
- Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a piping bag or a spoon, smoothing the top for a clean, rounded appearance.
- Cut small circles from olives or pimentos for the pupils. Use a toothpick or small scissors to shape tiny pupils and press them into the yolk filling to resemble creepy eyes.
- Lightly dust the eggs with paprika or smoked paprika for a bloodshot, veiny look. Chill the eggs in the fridge for 15 minutes to set before serving for maximum creepiness and flavor.
