Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing the large eggs in a saucepan and covering them with an inch of cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium heat, then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the eggs have finished cooking, carefully transfer them to an ice bath using a slotted spoon. Allow them to chill in the ice water for at least 5 minutes.
- Gently crack each egg's shell by tapping it on a hard surface, then roll it lightly to loosen the shell. Peel under cool running water for the best results.
- Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks and combine them with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Using red food coloring, create creepy veins on the egg white halves. Aim for a dramatic yet artistic look.
- Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, forming a generous dome shape on top.
- Place a black olive on top of each filled egg to represent the pupil. Add red food coloring or beet juice to simulate blood or veins around the olive.
