Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
Egg Filling:
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 12 teaspoons pickle relish with juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Garnish and Decoration:
- 12 black olives
- 12 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Chives
Instructions
- Carefully submerge eggs in a spacious pot, ensuring they’re completely covered with cold water. Heat to a rolling boil, then immediately cover and remove from flame. Allow eggs to sit undisturbed for precisely 6 minutes.
- Quickly transfer eggs into an ice bath to halt cooking process. Gently crack and peel shells, ensuring smooth egg white surfaces remain intact.
- Halve eggs lengthwise and delicately extract golden yolks into a mixing vessel. Combine yolks with creamy mayonnaise, tangy mustard, zesty pickle relish, and season with salt and pepper. Whisk until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- For pumpkin-themed variation, incorporate smoky paprika into the yolk mixture, creating a warm orange hue.
- Carefully reintroduce the seasoned yolk blend into egg white cavities using either a spoon or piping technique for precision.
- Transform eggs into spooky characters: position olive halves as spider bodies, strategically slicing remaining olive sections to mimic spindly legs. Alternatively, for pumpkin design, insert a delicate chive as a stem and use a toothpick to etch vertical texture lines.
- Refrigerate immediately or serve promptly to maintain optimal flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Choose large eggs at room temperature for easier peeling and more consistent cooking results.
- Gently tap eggs on a hard surface and roll to create tiny cracks before peeling for smoother shell removal.
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for more precise and professional-looking egg filling decoration.
- Store decorated deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days to maintain freshness and prevent flavor absorption.
