Halloween Deviled Eggs
Description
The recipe starts by boiling and cooling large eggs, then halving and removing yolks. The yolks are mashed with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a basic deviled filling. This standard filling is divided into three parts; one is mixed with avocado for creaminess, one with harissa paste for a spicy kick, and one with turmeric for a warm, earthy color and flavor. Additional mayonnaise may be added to adjust consistency.
Each flavored filling is piped back into the reserved egg whites using zip-top bags turned into piping bags. The finished eggs are garnished with smoked paprika over the turmeric eggs, fresh parsley leaves, and black olive rings to simulate a Halloween theme. The multi-flavored approach offers variety and visual interest.
These deviled eggs can be refrigerated after assembly and served chilled, making them suitable for themed parties or seasonal gatherings. Distinct fillings allow guests to enjoy different taste profiles within one dish.
Ingredients
For The Eggs:
- 6 egg large
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Mix Ins:
- ¼ avocado
- ½ tablespoon harissa paste or tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
Garnishes:
- smoked paprika
- parsley leaves
- black olives halved and thinly sliced into rings
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a medium pot. Cover with cold water by one inch. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil. As soon as the water reaches a boil, remove from heat and cover. Let sit for 15 minutes. Remove from pot and set in an ice bath to cool.
- Once cool, peel hard boiled eggs. Cut the eggs in half and scoop the yolks into a large bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a large platter. Season with salt and place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- Mash the egg yolks with the back of a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Divide the filling evenly among 3 smaller bowls. To the first bowl, add avocado and mix until combined. To the second bowl, add harissa paste and mix until combined. To the third bowl, add turmeric (and more mayonnaise if needed) and mix until combined.
- Add each of the fillings to three separate sturdy zip top bags. Snip off the corner of the first bag. Using it like a pastry bag, fill four of the prepared egg whites with the first color filling. Repeat with the other two colors of filling until all of the egg whites have been filled.
- To garnish the avocado eggs, use two black olive slices to form eyes. To garnish the harissa eggs, use a parsley leaves as a pumpkin stem, then sprinkle them with a little smoked paprika. To garnish the turmeric eggs, use half black olive slices to form the spider body and thinly sliced black olives to form the spider legs. Serve right away.
