Instructions
-
Boil the Eggs
-
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
-
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
-
Transfer eggs to ice water for 5 minutes, then peel.
-
-
Make the Filling
-
Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks to a small bowl.
-
Mash yolks with a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (if using), salt, and pepper until creamy.
-
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
-
-
Assemble the Spiders
-
Place one half olive (body) on top of each filled egg.
-
Arrange 6 olive “legs” (3 on each side) around the body.
-
Sprinkle lightly with paprika for color, if desired.

-
Chill and Serve
-
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving so the filling firms slightly.
-
Serve cold on a Halloween platter or bed of lettuce for a spooky presentation!

Notes
For extra spookiness, use black olives to create spider eyes and add a tiny bit of paprika or smoked paprika for a creepy, flavorful touch. These deviled eggs are perfect for parties—serve them chilled and consider arranging them on a platter with web-like drizzles of sriracha or dressing for a fun Halloween display.
