Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs for boiling and halving
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise for creamy filling
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1 small olive or black food-safe gel or small black food coloring dots for the
  • a few pieces red or orange food-safe gel or small food coloring dots for the

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Piping bag or plastic sandwich bag
  • Small knife
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, which helps them peel easily.
  2. Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise with a small knife. Gently remove the yolks into a mixing bowl, keeping the egg whites intact.
  3. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well combined, resembling a smooth white paste.
  4. Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture. Level the tops for a clean look.
  5. Decorate the filled eggs with small dots of black gel or food coloring to mimic the pupils of an eyeball, placing a tiny dot in the center of each for a realistic look.
  6. Place small drops of red or orange gel around the black pupil to create the appearance of bloodshot or veiny eyeballs, enhancing the creepy aesthetic.
  7. Arrange the decorated eggs on a serving platter, ensuring the 'eyeballs' are facing up. Chill briefly if desired before serving to help set the decorations.

Notes

For best results, use food-safe gels or food coloring for decoration. Feel free to add more coloring for enhanced realism or spooky effects.
