Halloween Deviled Eggs

I have the perfect appetizer for your next Halloween party. Deviled eggs! Ok, I serve deviled eggs at just about every party I have. But that’s because they are delicious, everyone likes them, and you can change the colors and flavors to fit the occasion.

So when Halloween rolls around I start looking for ways to turn plain deviled eggs into a spooky recipe.

I’m going basic here so these are simply colored with the traditional green and orange. But you can make them into spider eggs by adding thin slices of black olives for legs and the body of the spider. You can also add red food coloring and make a spooky eyeball.

There is no limit to how you can turn these into “Halloween Food” so dig through your pantry and fridge and find a new way to make them scary.

More easy Halloween appetizers include these Mummy pups, this pumpkin cheese ball, and these monster pretzel rods. Check out all my Halloween foods here!

Ingredients Needed

Eggs – Use hard-boiled large eggs. To make it even easier, buy them already cooked at the store.

Mayo – I prefer Duke’s mayo but use your favorite. Don’t use Miracle Whip as it has a different flavor profile.

Mustard – You can use regular yellow, Dijon, or spicy mustard.

Worcestershire sauce – Substitute hot sauce instead if you like spicy flavors.

Spices – Chopped chives and paprika for garnish.

Kitchen staples – Salt, pepper, green food coloring, orange food coloring.

How to Make Halloween Deviled Eggs Recipe

First: Hard boil eggs by placing eggs in a pot of cold water. Add enough water so that there’s about 1 inch of water covering the eggs.

Second: Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce heat and cook at a low simmer for about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the pot and immediately, but carefully, place them into a bowl of ice water. Let cool for at least 15 minutes.

Third: Carefully crack and remove the egg shells; rinse. Cut each egg lengthwise (from top to bottom) and place the yolks into a medium bowl.

Fourth: Rinse the white halves to remove all of the remaining bits of yolk. 

Fifth: Make the filling by adding the mayo, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks. Using a fork, mash up the yolks and whip well until there are no more lumps.

Sixth: Divide the yolk mixture in half between 2 small bowls (about ¼ cup for each bowl). In one bowl, mix in the orange food coloring a little at a time until you reach the desired orange color you’d like. Do the same with the green coloring in the other bowl.

Seventh: Fill the eggs. Scoop the orange yolks into a pastry bag fitted with a large, star tip. Use all the deviled egg filling to fill 6 of the egg whites, piping in a circular motion. Repeat with the green colored yolks. Fill just above the edge of the egg.

Eighth: Decorate the orange yolks with the chopped chives and the green yolks with a sprinkle of paprika. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

How long do they last?

Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container for up to 48 hours once assembled. You can even turn leftovers into this deviled egg dip!

If you would like to store the eggs themselves, boiled and with the shell still on them, they can last for up to 7 days in the fridge.

Cook an extra batch of eggs and make any of these delicious deviled egg recipes.

Tapas Tips & Tricks

• To make things easier, use store bought, prepared hard boiled eggs with the shells already removed.
• When mixing the filling, be sure to get out all of the lumps or the pastry tip will clog. If it does get clogged, use a toothpick to break up the lump. Use a ziptop bag with the corner cut off if you don’t have a piping bag.
• To aid in peeling the eggs, use eggs that aren’t super fresh. Buy them a week in advance. Peel under running water, using a spoon.
• Substitute other colors like red food coloring or even purple.
• I like to use gel food coloring because it has better colors. And it doesn’t water down the flavor of the deviled eggs.
• Check out this guide to making the perfect deviled eggs for tons of extra tips and tricks.
