These spooky deviled eggs feature a creamy, tangy filling topped with black olive spiders, making them a fun, easy, and crowd-pleasing Halloween appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1–2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt (for boiling water)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s Real or Kewpie recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Few dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 jar pitted black olives (Ragu or Herdez recommended)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Add vinegar and salt.
  2. Bring water to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle boil. Cook for 9-10 minutes.
  3. Prepare an ice bath. Transfer eggs to the ice bath immediately after cooking and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Tap eggs to crack shells, peel under running water, and pat dry. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and scoop yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
  6. Transfer filling to a piping bag with a star tip (or a Ziploc bag with corner cut) and pipe into egg white halves.
  7. Slice black olives in half lengthwise for the body, then cut each half into four thin strips for legs. Arrange legs on top of the filling.
  8. Chill the platter in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with extra smoked paprika.

Notes

Older eggs peel easier than very fresh ones. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smoother filling. If olive legs fall off, secure with a toothpick. Do not freeze deviled eggs as texture becomes grainy.
