Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large large eggs for boiling
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise for filling
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard for flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper adjust to preference
  • black sliced sliced black olives for the bloodshot look
  • optional cherry tomatoes alternative to olives for the bloodshot effect

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Small spoon or piping bag
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to cold water to cool completely.
  2. Peel the cooled eggs carefully, then slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Gently remove the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then stir in mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined, creating a silky filling.
  4. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg white halves, filling each cavity generously.
  5. Using slices of black olives or cherry tomato slices, place a small piece on top of each filled egg to resemble the bloodshot cornea, creating a creepy eyeball effect.
  6. Arrange the decorated egg halves on a serving platter. You can add extra olive slices or tomatoes for a more gory appearance if desired.

Notes

For an extra creepy look, squeeze a tiny bit of red food coloring or sauce around the olives or tomatoes to mimic blood.
