Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Filling
- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Tsp Mustard
Coloring and Decoration
- Green Food Coloring
- Red Food Coloring
- Sliced Black Olives
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Peel the cooled hard boiled eggs and slice each in half lengthwise carefully to create smooth halves for filling.
- Mash the Yolks: Remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly until smooth and crumb-free.
- Make the Filling: Add mayonnaise and mustard to the mashed yolks. Mix well to combine and create a creamy base for the deviled eggs.
- Add Green Color: Stir in green food coloring little by little until you achieve the desired eerie green color for the eyeball effect.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the green yolk mixture, creating a neat mound.
- Add Olive Pupils: Place one slice of black olive in the center of each filled egg half to serve as the pupil of the eyeball.
- Draw Red Veins: Dip a toothpick into red food coloring and draw thin lines radiating from the olive to mimic bloodshot veins on the eyeball’s surface.
Notes
- Use fresh black olive slices for the clearest ‘pupil’ effect.
- Mix food coloring gradually to avoid over-saturating the filling.
- Chill deviled eggs before serving for best flavor and texture.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
