Ingredients
Scale
6 large eggs
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Smoked paprika (for garnish)
12 black olives (whole, pitted – for spider bodies and legs)
Instructions
Start this easy Halloween appetizer by boiling the eggs (about 10 minutes for hard-boiled). Let them cool, then peel for a smooth prep experience—party-perfect and mess-free!
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks. This gives you the classic base for a fun spooky treat everyone will rave about.
Mash yolks with mayo, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy. This is your crowd-pleasing filling—rich, tangy, and oh-so-smooth for a quick Halloween snack hit.
Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites. This step adds that photo-worthy creamy texture—perfect for your next party appetizer idea.
Cut olives in half (body), then slice the other half into thin strips (legs). Arrange them on the eggs to create spider shapes. Finish with a dusting of smoked paprika for that dramatic spooky vibe—a real show-stealing finger food.
Notes
Adjust seasoning to taste.
Can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
