Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Food coloring (green and black)
- Olives or spider-shaped decorations (optional)
- Chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot and covering them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes before transferring to an ice bath to cool.
- Prepare the eggs by gently tapping each egg to crack the shell, then peeling them under cool running water for easier removal. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Separate the yolks from the egg whites, placing the yolks in a mixing bowl and setting the egg whites aside for filling.
- Make the filling by mashing the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add food coloring by dividing the yolk mixture into two bowls and mixing a drop of green coloring into one bowl to achieve a vibrant hue.
- Fill the egg whites using a spoon or piping bag, alternating between the plain and green filling for a marbled effect.
- Decorate the eggs by dipping a toothpick into black food coloring and drawing spider web lines across the filled eggs. Use olives or other decorations for added fun.
- Garnish with chives on top if desired, and serve chilled for the best flavor.
Notes
Use older eggs for easier peeling and customize flavors with spices. Avoid over-mixing food coloring for the marbled effect.
