These spooky eyeball deviled eggs feature a creamy yolk filling with sriracha ‘blood vessels’ and black olive pupils, making them a fun and easy Halloween appetizer that’s both visually striking and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (hard-boiled)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 black olive slices (pitted)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • Chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water by about an inch.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Gently tap eggs on the counter and peel under running water if needed. Pat dry with paper towels.
  5. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Keep egg whites on a platter.
  6. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. Place one black olive slice in the center of each filled egg half to mimic the pupil.
  9. Using a toothpick or small knife tip, dip into sriracha and drag thin lines radiating from the olive ‘pupil’ outwards to form blood vessels.
  10. Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped chives or green onions around the eggs for garnish.
  11. Refrigerate the eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and sriracha set.

Notes

Use the off-heat steep method to avoid green yolks. Thin sriracha with a little water if too thick for drawing veins. Add sriracha veins last to keep their bright color. For dairy-free, substitute mayo with avocado or vegan mayo. Adjust sriracha amount for spice tolerance.
