Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to whip up these spooky treats:

• 6 large eggs: The base for this classic appetizer
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise: For that creamy deviled egg filling
• 1 teaspoon mustard: Adds tang and flavor
• 1-2 teaspoons pickle relish: Optional, but it adds a bit of sweetness and texture
• Salt and pepper: To taste
• 12 black olives: For the spooky spider eggs
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika: Gives the pumpkin eggs their signature color and smoky flavor
• Chives: For the pumpkin stems

Tools You’ll Need

• A saucepan for boiling the eggs
• A mixing bowl for mashing the yolks with the filling ingredients
• A knife to slice the eggs and olives
• A spoon or piping bag for filling the egg whites

How to Make Halloween Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Hard Boil the Eggs

Place six eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with an inch of cold water. Turn the heat to high, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let them cook for about six more minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for five minutes to cool, then tap them gently on the counter to crack the shell. Peel under cold water for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Deviled Egg Filling

Slice the eggs in half vertically and scoop the yolks into a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of mayo, 1 teaspoon of mustard, and 1-2 teaspoons of pickle relish. Use a fork to mash everything together until smooth. If you’re making pumpkin deviled eggs, mix in ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika for that extra kick of flavor. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Fill the Eggs

Spoon the creamy yolk mixture back into the egg whites. For a cleaner presentation, you can use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. If making pumpkins, use the back of a toothpick to create vertical lines in the filling, mimicking a pumpkin’s texture.

Step 4: Add Your Spooky Decorations

For Spider Deviled Eggs: Cut the black olives in half. Place one half in the center of the egg for the spider’s body, then slice the other half thinly to create eight legs (four on each side).
For Pumpkin Deviled Eggs: Add a small piece of chive to the top of each egg to act as the pumpkin stem. If you want to enhance the pumpkin look, sprinkle extra paprika on top.

Tips for Perfect Halloween Deviled Eggs

Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prepare the eggs and filling a day in advance. Just store them separately in the fridge and assemble them right before serving
Adding More Flavor: If you want to play around with the flavor, you can add a little hot sauce to the filling for a spicy kick.

What to Serve with Halloween Deviled Eggs

These spooky deviled eggs make the perfect addition to any Halloween appetizer spread. Serve them alongside other festive treats like Oreo Halloween Cookies, Mummy Cookies, or even a Rice Crispy Cake for a well-rounded and delicious party table.

Storage Tips

Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you’re making them ahead of time, wait to add the olives and chives until just before serving to keep them fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes! You can boil the eggs and prepare the filling in advance. Store the filling and egg whites separately, then assemble them when ready to serve.

What can I use if I don’t have smoked paprika?
If you don’t have smoked paprika on hand, you can use regular paprika. The flavor won’t be as smoky, but it will still give your pumpkin deviled eggs that bright orange color.

Can I make this recipe without mayo?
Absolutely! You can substitute Greek yogurt or even mashed avocado for a mayo-free version. The texture will be slightly different, but still creamy and delicious.
