These Spider Deviled Eggs are a fun, spooky twist on the classic appetizer, perfect for Halloween parties. Creamy, tangy filling is topped with black olive ‘spiders’ for a crowd-pleasing, kid-friendly treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 12 large black olives, pitted
  • Extra smoked paprika (optional, for dusting)
  • Fresh parsley leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for at least 10 minutes. Peel eggs and pat dry.
  4. Slice eggs lengthwise and remove yolks to a mixing bowl. Set whites aside on a serving tray.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, black pepper, and optional smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white cavities.
  7. Slice 6 olives in half lengthwise for spider bodies. Slice the remaining 6 olives into thin strips (about 8 per olive) for legs.
  8. Place one olive half in the center of each filled egg for the spider body. Arrange 4 olive strips on each side for legs, pressing gently so they stick.
  9. Sprinkle extra smoked paprika over the eggs and garnish with parsley if desired.
  10. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, chill eggs before serving to help the spiders stay in place. If the filling is too stiff, add a splash more mayo. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt or low-fat mayo. Vegan and allergy-friendly adaptations are possible. Assemble olive spiders just before serving to keep legs from getting soggy.
