Ingredients
Scale
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- Black food coloring (gel or liquid)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
For the Spider Garnish (Optional):
- Black olives
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water. Gently crack the shells without peeling them.
- Create the Spiderweb Effect: Mix water with black food coloring and soy sauce in a bowl. Place the cracked eggs in the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight.
- Peel and Prepare: Peel the colored eggs to reveal the spiderweb design. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks to a bowl.
- Make the Filling: Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika if desired. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
- Add the Spooky Garnish: For a creepy touch, slice black olives to create spiders and place them on top of each deviled egg.
Notes
- For vibrant spiderweb patterns, use gel food coloring.
- Prepare eggs and filling in advance and assemble before serving.
- Olive spiders are optional but add a fun Halloween element.
