Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 24 pimento-stuffed green olives, drained
  • Red food coloring
  • Black food coloring
  • Black edible marker

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch.
  2. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Drain hot water and immediately fill saucepan with ice water to stop the cooking. Let eggs cool completely, then peel and halve lengthwise.
  4. Scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
  5. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  6. Stir in chopped celery, green bell pepper, and red onion.
  7. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  8. For the eyeballs: Place one olive on top of each deviled egg half.
  9. Using a small paintbrush or toothpick, tint the white of the olive with red food coloring to resemble veins.
  10. Add a small dot of black food coloring to the center of the olive to create the pupil.
  11. Use a black edible marker to draw a thin line around the pupil for definition.
  12. Arrange the Monster Eyeball Deviled Eggs on a platter and serve.

Notes

  • For firmer egg whites, you can gently scoop out a small amount of the white from the bottom of each half to create a stable base.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and seasonings to your preference.
  • Other options for the pupil include a small dot of black olive or a tiny piece of black edible glitter.
