Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1–2 teaspoons pickle relish with juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 black olives (for spider eggs)
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (for pumpkin eggs)
- Chives (for pumpkin stems)
Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs: Place 6 eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil on high heat, cover, and cook for 6 minutes. Transfer to ice water to cool, then peel the eggs.
- Prepare the filling: Slice eggs in half and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mix the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth. For pumpkin eggs, add smoked paprika.
- Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- Decorate: For spider eggs, place half an olive on top for the body and slice the other half into legs. For pumpkin eggs, add a chive for the stem and use a toothpick to create vertical lines.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Make-ahead tip: You can boil the eggs and prepare the filling a day in advance. Store separately, then assemble before serving.
- For best results, wait to add the olives and chives just before serving to keep them fresh.
- Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor to the pumpkin eggs, but regular paprika works just fine too.
- For a spicier kick, add a bit of hot sauce to the yolk mixture.
