Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. Turn the heat to high, bringing the water to a rapid boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- After the timer goes off, quickly transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath with cold water and ice cubes. Allow them to chill for at least 5 minutes.
- Carefully tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, then roll them gently to create more cracks. Peel the shells off under running water.
- Once peeled, slice each egg in half lengthwise, exposing the rich yellow yolk. Gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- In your mixing bowl, combine the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to mix until smooth.
- Prepare your decorations by carefully using red food coloring to draw thin, creepy ‘veins’ on the egg whites.
- Using a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
- Place a half of a black olive in the center of each filled egg to serve as the ‘pupil.’

Notes
You can prepare the egg whites and apply the veining a day in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to fill.
