Equipment

  • Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 12 green olives stuffed with pimentos

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pot from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  • Drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs until they cool. Peel the eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mash and stir until the mixture is smooth.
  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  • Press one green olive into the center of each filled egg half so the pimento faces upward.

Notes

Slice the olives ahead if you want smaller pupils, or leave them whole for bigger eyes. The paprika adds a light smoky note that balances the richness of the mayo without overpowering the olives. These eggs taste best the same day they are made but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to one day.
