Equipment
Method
- Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain hot water and run cold water over eggs or place in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Once cool, peel the eggs.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Scoop the yolks into a small bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- For each spider, place a whole black olive on top of the deviled egg filling for the body.
- Cut the remaining black olives into thin strips for the legs. You will need 4 strips per spider.
- Insert two olive strips on each side of the olive body to create the spider legs.
- Cut small circles from the red bell pepper for the eyes and place them on the olive body.
Notes
You can use pimento-stuffed olives for the spider bodies if you prefer.
