Spooky deviled eggs with cracked purple shells and vibrant green filling, perfect for your Halloween party.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Green food coloring
  • Purple food coloring

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Peel the hard-boiled eggs. Place each egg in a small plastic bag. Add a few drops of purple food coloring to each bag, ensuring the eggs are coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes, or until desired color is reached. Rinse eggs gently under cold water to remove excess dye.
  4. Slice the purple-dyed eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a separate bowl.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise mixture and stir until smooth.
  6. Add green food coloring to the yolk mixture, a few drops at a time, until you achieve a vibrant green color.
  7. Spoon or pipe the green filling into the hollows of the egg white halves.
  8. Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter.

Notes

  • For a cracked egg effect, gently tap the purple-dyed eggs before placing them in the food coloring.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the deviled eggs up to 24 hours in advance. Store the egg white halves and the filling separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving.
  • Presentation: Garnish with finely chopped chives or a small slice of black olive to resemble spider legs for an extra creepy touch.
