I thought I’d dreamed up this idea all by myself, but a quick Google tells me otherwise. Deviled eggs! Made to look like eyes! Deviled Egg Eyes…The perfect Halloween hors d’oeurve! I guess I can see how I wouldn’t be the first person to dream this one up. It’s not much of a stretch. Ah well. I still love how these turned out.
Here’s how:
Deviled Egg Eyes
Deviled Egg Eyes
Deviled egg eyes are traditional deviled eggs, jazzed up with paprika paste and olives so they look just like bloodshot eyes. Halloween fun!
Ingredients
- One dozen eggs and preparations for your fave deviled egg recipe (I just smash up the yolks with about 1/2 cup of mayo, about 1 tablespoon of mustard, a couple drops of tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste)
- Green food coloring
- Blue food coloring
- Ziploc baggies
- Black olives
- Paprika
- Toothpick
Instructions
- Slice hard boiled eggs in half and mash yolks using your favorite deviled eggs recipe
- Add three or four drops of green food coloring
- Spoon half the yolk mixture into a Ziploc bag (or a pastry bag)
- Cut off the tip of the bag
- Pipe into egg halves by the pair.
- Mix three or four blue drops to the remaining yolk mixture.
- Spoon into a new Ziploc bag, cut off the tip, and pipe yolk mixture into remaining pairs.
- Cut the sides of the black olives so that they're fairly round
- Place them in the center of the deviled eggs (to look like pupils).
- Pour some paprika onto a plate and wet with enough water to make a paste.
- Using a toothpick, lightly draw on a few veins here and there.
