Instructions
Prepare the Eggs
5 minCut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. Make sure not to damage the egg whites as you work with them.
Mash the Yolks
2 minUsing a fork, mash the yolks until they are smooth and crumbly. This helps ensure a creamy filling for the deviled eggs.
Mix the Filling
3 minAdd real mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Stir until the mixture is creamy and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Fill the Egg Whites
5 minSpoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the halved egg whites evenly. Make sure to fill each half generously for a nice presentation.
Create Spider Bodies
3 minSlice the black olives in half and place one half on each deviled egg as the spider's body. This adds a playful touch to your dish.
Add Spider Legs
5 minCut the remaining olive halves into strips to form legs. Arrange four strips on each side of the olive body, creating a total of eight legs for each spider.
Chill Before Serving
10 minRefrigerate the assembled deviled eggs until you are ready to serve. This helps the flavors meld and keeps them fresh.
