Ingredients

Classic Spider Deviled Eggs

Avocado Spider Deviled Eggs

Eyeball Deviled Eggs

Skull Deviled Eggs

Instructions

Pumpkin Deviled Eggs

  • Mix a few drops of orange food coloring into the prepared filling until you reach the desired pumpkin color.
  • Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg whites, creating a rounded mound. Use a toothpick or the edge of a small knife to make several shallow lines in the filling to resemble the ridges of a pumpkin.
  • Cut the celery into small pieces and insert one into the top of each pumpkin for the stem. Sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika.

Classic Spider Deviled Eggs

  • Pipe or spoon the classic filling into the egg whites and sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika.
  • Cut the black olives to create the spiders. Use a larger piece of olive for the body and cut additional olives into thin strips for the legs.
  • Arrange the olive pieces over the filling to create a spider on each egg.

Avocado Spider Deviled Eggs

  • For this variation, use the avocado filling instead of the classic filling.
  • Mash the cooked egg yolks with the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
  • Spoon or pipe the avocado filling into the egg whites.
  • Cut black olives to create the spider bodies and thin legs. Arrange the olives over the avocado filling and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds, if desired.

Eyeball Deviled Eggs

  • Prepare the avocado filling and spoon or pipe it into the center of the egg whites.
  • Place a black olive slice in the center of each egg to create the pupil. Add a small dot of ketchup to the center of each olive.
  • Combine the mayonnaise with enough of the remaining ketchup to create a pale pinkish-red color. Use a toothpick to draw thin lines over the egg whites to resemble bloodshot veins.

Bat Deviled Eggs

  • Pipe or spoon the classic filling into the egg whites and sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika.
  • Cut the black olives into pieces to create the bat bodies, pointed ears, and curved wings.
  • Place an olive body in the center of the filling. Arrange two small pointed pieces at the top for ears and curved olive pieces along the sides for wings.
  • Add two tiny dots of yellow mustard for the eyes.

Skull Deviled Eggs

  • Cook 2 additional eggs and remove the yolks. Reserve the cooked egg whites for another use.
  • Mash the 2 yolks with 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mayonnaise, 1/3 teaspoon mustard, 1/3 teaspoon vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  • Spoon the extra filling into small silicone skull molds. Press the filling firmly into the molds so it fills the details of each skull.
  • Place the silicone molds in the freezer until the filling is firm enough to hold its shape.
  • Meanwhile, mix orange food coloring into the regular deviled egg filling. Pipe or spoon the orange filling into the egg whites.
  • Carefully push the hardened filling skulls out of the silicone molds. Place one skull over each egg and gently press it into the orange filling.
  • Sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika and add fresh parsley around the skulls, if desired.

Notes

  • Choose your designs: The base recipe makes 12 deviled egg halves. You can make all 12 using one design or divide the eggs and filling among several designs. The amounts of decorating ingredients are approximate and will vary depending on which designs you make.
  • Avocado Spiders and Eyeballs: If you're only making a few of these as part of a mixed platter, you won't need the full avocado filling recipe. Make a smaller batch as needed.
  • Skull Eggs: The skull variation requires 2 additional cooked egg yolks to make the extra filling for the silicone molds. Save the cooked whites for another use. Additional freezing time required.
