Creepy Halloween deviled eggs
Impress your friends with these adorable spider Halloween deviled eggs! You don’t have to be the world’s best chef to make these—they’re that simple.
Planning to feed a crowd? Hard boil 18 eggs then cool. Remove shells, cut eggs in half horizontally and remove yolks.
Most deviled egg recipes call for mayonnaise, but we kept it light by using olive oil and water instead. Throw in a little Dijon mustard, paprika, salt and pepper until you have a smooth consistency and get ready to fill your egg whites..
For a professional look, and way less mess, spoon the egg mixture into a piping bag and pipe into each egg white. No piping bag on hand? Simply cut the corner of a plastic baggie and start squeezing.
To make “spider” bodies, slice all the olives in half and place an olive half on each egg. Slice remaining olives in half vertically, then horizontally to arrange pieces as “legs.”
We served our spider Halloween deviled eggs on a plate, painted to look like a web. If you want to make this spider web Halloween plate.
