About this recipe
Serve up some spook-tacular deviled eggs with the perfect Halloween twist.
Soak partially cracked hard-boiled eggs in red-colored water to create the illusion of a veiny, bloodshot eye. To make the eggs even spookier, the filling turns green with a few drops of green food coloring. If you don’t want to use food coloring, pureed spinach or pesto would work as a natural alternative.
This recipe creates a classic deviled egg with mayonnaise and mustard. But if you’re looking to amp up your eggs, feel free to incorporate truffle oil, wasabi, pickles or relish.
“It’s endless the flavors you can put into a deviled egg,” Jessica Holmes said.
