Spider Deviled Eggs

October 30, 2013 by Katie Leave a Comment

Happy almost Halloween!

In case you’re headed to a Halloween gathering tomorrow (or even this weekend), here’s a simple but very fitting appetizer: Spider Deviled Eggs!

This is totally a Pinterest-inspired dish!  I saw/pinned the picture a while ago.  It’s just the perfect Halloween appetizer!  I just used my recent Deviled Eggs recipe and added the spiders (aka cleverly cut and positioned black olives).  They really came out great and were a big hit at the party I brought them to.  This recipe was a tad time consuming though (mainly the slicing and placing of the “spider legs”), but definitely worth the effort!

Start by hard boiling some eggs, separating the whites and yolks, and making the deviled egg mixture…

  • Spoon the yolk mixture into a resealable plastic bag.  (Sandwich size was just perfect.)

  • Snip off one corner of the bag.

  • Pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white.

  • Sprinkle a little paprika over the eggs.

  • Open a can of black olives.

  • Slice 12 olives in half.

  • Place an olive half on top of each egg yolk and press down.

(At this point, I realized that the eggs kind of looked like bloodshot eyeballs, which also could have worked for Halloween.  I was tempted to just go with it, but I ultimately decided to see how the spiders turned out.)

  • Cut the remaining olives in half and then thinly slice them.  (Try to keep them all the same width.  It doesn’t have to be perfect though!)

  • Place 8 slices onto each egg (4 on either side of each olive half) to finish the spiders.  (The creamy yolk mixture held everything in place like glue!)

Enjoy!
