Equipment

  • pot
  • ice bath
  • platter
  • Mixing Bowl
  • zip-top bag

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 6 oz can whole black olives pitted (for 'spiders')
  • Paprika or black sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, cover, turn off heat, and let sit 12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool completely.
  • Peel & halve: Gently peel cooled eggs. Slice lengthwise and remove yolks to a bowl; set whites on a platter.
  • Make the filling: Mash yolks smooth, then mix in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Fill the whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, mounding slightly.
  • Create olive 'spiders': Halve olives lengthwise. Use one half as the spider body. Slice the other half into thin legs (6-8). Place a body atop each egg and arrange legs on the sides.
  • Garnish & chill: Dust with paprika or sprinkle black sesame seeds if desired. Chill until serving.

Notes

Peeling tip: Slightly older eggs peel easier. Shock in an ice bath to prevent green rings. Neat filling: For a cleaner look, pipe filling with a zip-top bag (corner snipped) or star tip. Dry whites: Pat egg whites dry before filling so the mixture stays put. Make-ahead: Prepare up to 24 hours in advance; store covered. Add olive spiders just before serving for best look. Variations: Add a dash of sriracha or chipotle for heat; stir in relish for tang; blend avocado or pesto for a green 'goblin' hue. Food safety: Keep chilled and limit to 2 hours at room temperature on the buffet.
