These creepy-crawly spider deviled eggs are the perfect Halloween appetizer—creamy, tangy, and topped with black olive legs for a spooky yet delicious presentation. Quick to make and sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any Halloween gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika for garnish
  • 1 can (6 ounces) large black olives

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for exactly 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath and cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel eggs under cool running water.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove yolks to a small bowl and arrange whites on a serving platter.
  4. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Drain olives and pat dry. For each spider, use one whole olive for the body. Slice a second olive lengthwise into 4 thin slices, then cut each slice in half crosswise to make 8 leg pieces.
  6. Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with corner snipped. Pipe filling into each egg white, mounding slightly above the edge.
  7. Place one whole olive on each filled egg for the body. Arrange 8 leg pieces around each body, four on each side, angled outward.
  8. Lightly dust with paprika. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For best results, use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. The filling can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in a piping bag. Assemble spiders no more than 4 hours before serving to prevent olives from drying out. If filling is too runny, chill for 15 minutes before piping.
