Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs for boiling
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise for filling
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard adds flavor to yolk mixture
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 12 small green or black olives for pupils
  • 2 tbsp ketchup or beet juice for blood-red sauce
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise to mix with ketchup for blood effect

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Piping Bag or Small Spoon
  • Knife
  • Small Spoon or Melon Ball Scoop

Method
 

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to cold water, and let cool completely.
  2. Gently tap each cooled egg and peel off the shells, revealing smooth, clean eggs. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, leaving the whites intact. Place the egg halves on a serving tray.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy and well combined.
  5. Use a piping bag or small spoon to evenly fill each egg white with the yolk mixture, creating a smooth, rounded top that resembles an eyeball's sclera.
  6. Thinly mix ketchup or beet juice with mayonnaise to create a blood-red sauce. Use a small spoon or piping tool to add drips around the eggs, giving the appearance of bloodshot eyes.
  7. Slice tiny rounds from olives to shape as pupils and place one in the center of each egg, pressing gently to secure.
  8. Adjust the blood-red sauce as needed to make the eyes look creepy and bloodshot. Chill briefly if desired before serving.

Notes

For a more realistic blood effect, mix a few drops of red food coloring into the ketchup or beet juice. Keep the eggs chilled until ready to serve for best presentation.
