These spooky creepy eyeball deviled eggs are a fun and easy Halloween party treat featuring creamy yolk filling with a tangy twist and briny olive pupils for a creepy-cute effect.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher salt preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 large black olives, sliced into rings
  • Red pimentos (from jarred olives or jarred pimentos), small pieces

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking, about 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel each egg.
  3. Carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise, exposing the yolk. Remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl; set whites aside on a serving platter.
  4. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add a tiny splash of milk or more mayo if filling feels too thick.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
  6. Slice black olives into rings. Place one olive ring on top of each filled egg half to form the iris. Add a small piece of red pimento in the center of the olive to mimic the pupil.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and the filling set.

Notes

Timing the eggs exactly 12 minutes off heat after boiling prevents green yolk rings. Peel eggs under running water to loosen shells. Use a sharp knife for clean olive slices. Piping bags can be used for a fancy filling swirl but a spoon works fine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in airtight container up to 24 hours; avoid freezing.
