Ingredients
-
6 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
-
3 drops red food dye (or beet juice)
-
12 medium cocktail olives (with pimentos)
-
3 slices white bread (or 12 rice crackers)
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Boil 6 large eggs in cool water covering the eggs, then cook for 20 minutes. Transfer to cold water for 2–5 minutes and peel.
-
Slice eggs in half lengthwise, remove yolks, and push through a mesh strainer to make smooth yolk powder.
-
Mix yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust consistency with more mayo if needed. Add red food dye or beet juice for a spooky color.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if using bread. Cut 12 circles from bread slices with a small cookie cutter and flatten. Toast 5–7 minutes until golden. Skip this step if using rice crackers.
-
Cut a small hole on top of each egg, remove the piece, cut it in half, and place half back into the egg to hold the olive.
-
Slice olives and insert into eggs.
-
Turn eggs over and pipe or spoon filling carefully, avoiding overfilling. Place toasted bread or rice cracker on top to seal. Flip back and repeat for all eggs.
Notes
-
Use a piping bag for cleaner filling.
-
Customize with black olives or different mustard types.
-
Assemble just before serving for the best presentation.
