Deviled Egg Spiders are a fun and festive twist on the classic deviled eggs—perfect for Halloween or themed parties. Creamy, tangy egg filling pairs with olives to create a creepy-cute spider design that’s both eye-catching and delicious. It’s a simple, kid-friendly snack that doubles as a conversation piece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1520 whole pitted olives (black, green, or Kalamata)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs
    Slice the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. Make the filling
    Add the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and salt to the yolks. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.

  3. Fill the eggs
    Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites, or use a piping bag (or sandwich bag with the tip cut off) for a cleaner presentation.

  4. Create the spider bodies
    Slice about 12 olives in half lengthwise. Place one half (cut side down) on top of each deviled egg to form the spider body.

  5. Make the legs
    Slice the remaining olives lengthwise again, then cut into thin strips to form legs.

  6. Assemble the spiders
    Place 3–4 olive “legs” on each side of the olive body to complete the spider look.

  7. Serve
    Chill slightly if desired, then serve as a spooky snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use black olives for the most spider-like appearance.
  • Add a pinch of paprika or garlic powder to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Pipe the filling with a star tip for a more decorative look.
  • Best served fresh or lightly chilled.
