Hard boil the eggs for 12 minutes. Transfer them to cold water and peel them.
5 eggs
Divide the eggs in halves lengthwise and separate the yolks.

¼ cup beet puree, 2 tablespoons mustard, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, 1 teaspoon paprika, Salt and pepper
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and fill the eggs with it.
Top each egg with an olive and add a bit of beet puree (it should be runny to make it look like blood, so if it’s too thick, mix with a bit of water).
10 black olive slices
Serve and enjoy your Halloween Deviled eggs!

Notes

Colors: Enhance the spookiness by experimenting with different food colorings like orange or green to tint the yolk mixture or egg white. Just a few drops can transform your deviled eggs into a creepy creation.

Piping: For a cleaner and more professional look, use a piping bag with a star tip to fill the egg whites. It not only looks better but also makes the process much easier and quicker.

DIY Piping Bag: A simple zip-top bag with a corner snipped off works just as well as a piping bag. It’s a quick and easy solution.

Egg Peeling Hack: Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water. It raises the pH level and makes the eggs easier to peel.

Spice It Up: Don’t shy away from adding a little extra Sriracha or even a dash of cayenne pepper to the yolk mix for those who like it hot.

Make Ahead: You can boil and peel the eggs a day in advance. Keep the whites and yolk mixture separate in the fridge until you're ready to fill them.

Presentation: Serve on a dark platter with Halloween-themed decorations around to create an overall eerie effect at your party.

How long can Halloween Deviled Eggs stay out at a party? To ensure food safety, try not to leave the deviled eggs out for more than two hours, especially if your party is outside or in a warm room.

Storage Instructions

Cool and Airtight: Make sure your deviled eggs have cooled to room temperature before storing. Then, place them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Refrigerate: Store your deviled eggs in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to two days if kept properly sealed.
