Spiderweb Deviled Eggs with Olive Spiders
Course Appetizer
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Toothpick

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 4 black olives

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  • Drain the eggs and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Once cool, peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork, then stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  • Dip a toothpick into the soy sauce and draw three or four concentric circles on top of each filled egg. Drag the toothpick through the circles at even intervals to create a web pattern.
  • Slice each black olive in half to make the spider bodies. Cut the remaining halves into thin strips for the legs. Place one olive half in the center of each web and arrange the strips around it as legs.

Notes

Make the eggs up to a day ahead and add the soy sauce webs and olive spiders just before serving so the pattern stays sharp. If you want less soy flavor, dilute it with a drop of water before drawing the lines.
