These spooky deviled eggs look like they came straight out of a mad scientist's kitchen!
Start by hard-boiling 6 eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover with cold water by about an inch, and bring to a rolling boil. Put a lid on the pot, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 11 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and cool completely.
Once cooled, use the back of a spoon to gently tap the shells all over, creating lots of small indents and cracks in the shell (but leave some space between each indent for the best results!). Place the cracked eggs in a bowl of water with several drops of blue and red food coloring as well as a couple drops of green food coloring. Refrigerate the eggs in the dye bowl overnight.
The next day, rinse and peel the eggs to reveal a creepy spider web pattern on the whites. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a bowl. Mash with mayo, yellow mustard, salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika. Add a generous squeeze of green food coloring and mix until smooth.
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites, then finish with black sesame seeds or poppy seeds for the ultimate spooky touch.
They're weird, creepy, and just like classic deviled eggs...impossibly hard to stop eating.
