Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 drop black food coloring
- 1 drop green food coloring
- 3 pimento olives (sliced in half for eyeballs)
- Paprika for garnish
- Chives or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath for cooling.
- Peel the Eggs: After cooling for about 5 minutes, gently crack each egg on the counter and peel under running water.
- Prepare the Filling: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper; mix until smooth.
- Add Food Coloring: Divide the yolk mixture into two bowls; color one half with black food coloring and leave the other yellow. Swirl them together slightly for a marbled effect.
- Fill the Eggs: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each egg white half with the colored yolk mixture, allowing some to spill out for spooky flair.
- Create Eyeballs: Top each filled egg with half of a pimento olive as an eyeball. Sprinkle paprika on top and garnish with chives or green onions.
