Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 thinly sliced chives
- Black olives
Instructions
- Boil the eggs in water for about 11 minutes, then drain and place in ice water until they are completely cool. Peel them under cool running water.
- Slice them lengthwise in half and spoon out the yolk. Cover the egg whites and refrigerate.
- Add the yolk, mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, and peppers in a food processor and blend lightly. You can also mix manually using a fork. Add salt and pepper as per taste.
- Put the yolk mixture in a Ziploc bag and snip off any one corner. Pipe out 4-5 lines in the middle of the egg lengthwise, so as to create 'ridges' that resemble a pumpkin. Use a small part of the chive to make the 'stem' of the pumpkin.
- Alternatively, pipe out the yolk on the egg as you'd like, and place a 'spider' on it. Cut a pitted black olive into two. Use one part to create the body of the spider and slice the second part to create its legs, as shown in the picture
