Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Black food coloring
  • Orange food coloring
  • Black olives
  • Chives or green onions
  • Paprika
  • Cream cheese

Method
 

  1. Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice water bath to stop cooking process. Allow eggs to cool completely, approximately 10 minutes.
  3. Gently crack and peel eggs under cool running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks carefully. Arrange egg white halves on your serving platter.
  5. Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Divide mixture into separate bowls for different colored variations.
  6. Add black food coloring to one portion, orange coloring to another, and leave one portion natural yellow.
  7. Fill egg white halves with colored yolk mixtures. Create 'spider' eggs with halved black olives and chive pieces.

Notes

Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent rubbery whites. Use fresh eggs for easier peeling. Store completed eggs in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
