This takes the crowd-pleasing classic, deviled eggs, and turns it into a creepy delight. Everyone will get a nice dose of protein when they enjoy these and a good chuckle as they eat "eyes!”
2tsp. yellow or Dijon mustard (use wheat/gluten-freeif needed)
1/8tsp. saltor to taste
12pitted black olivescut in half crosswise so that you have 24 circles
1 - 2Tbsp. ketchupfor decorating
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and put the eggs inside. Bring the water to a boil and then set a timer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the heat, drain the hot water, and run the eggs under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Remove the shells from the hard-boiled eggs and slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
Remove the yolks and put them in a bowl. Place the whites on a separate plate.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and salt to the yolks and mash them together with a fork until they are creamy and smooth.
Put the yolk mixture back into the egg whites with a spoon or by making a piping bag with a Ziploc by putting the mixture into a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag, cutting off one corner of the bag, and squeezing the mixture out into the egg whites.
Place one olive half in the middle of the filling on each egg to make them look like pupils.
Place the ketchup into a small bowl and use a toothpick to paint the ketchup onto the egg whites to resemble blood shot eyes.
Refrigerate in a closed container until you are ready to serve, up to 3 days.
