Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 4–6 pitted Black Olives
- Paprika or Chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the eggs by placing them in a pot covered with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn off the heat, letting sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool the eggs in ice water for 5-10 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Prepare the filling by peeling the eggs, slicing them in half, and scooping out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth.
- Fill each egg white with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag for a neat finish.
- Create the spiders using the black olives: cut one olive half for the body and slice the remaining half for legs. Place on top of filled eggs.
- Garnish with paprika or chives for added color and flavor.
- Serve on a platter, ideally with themed decorations for Halloween.
