How to Make Halloween Deviled Eggs
The part of this recipe that people tend to get nervous about is boiling the eggs! Once you know how to boil hard boil eggs, you’re basically in the clear. Not only for this recipe but be sure to take notes for breakfast ideas too!
Once they’re cooked and peeled, they’re sliced in half vertically and the yolk gets scooped out. Make the delicious filling by combining the remaining ingredients with the yolk and fill the egg whites back up again with the mixture. It is SO GOOD!
Make Extra Hardboiled Eggs!
While you’re at it, throw in a few extra. Not just in case one or two don’t peel nicely (although, that’s the main reason), but because they make a great snack!
- Eat them on their own as a high-protein healthy snack or breakfast.
- Add them to a Cobb salad.
- Make the best egg salad to top off your leafy greens.
- Spread it between two slices of bread for a delicious egg salad sandwich.
Seasoning Variations
The presentation of these Halloween deviled eggs is the focus of this recipe, so we’re using the classic ingredients. If you are up to jazzing up the mixture a bit with additional flavors, it’s totally doable!
- Bacon ranch deviled eggs are always a hit.
- Add a bit of spice with cayenne, jalapeno, or horseradish.
- For a less sweet version, swap the sweet relish for dill.
- Play around with seasonings and add the ones you like. A little extra paprika, garlic powder, everything bagel seasoning, etc.
Adorable Halloween Deviled Egg Ideas!
- Spiders: Slice pitted black olives in half. Place one half on top of the egg mixture, shell side up, and use the other half to thinly slice 8 legs, placing 4 along each side of the first half.
- Pumpkins: Super cute, place a little piece of chive at the top of one end of the center orange portion (the yolk) to act as the stem. For a little extra something, use a toothpick to create vertical lines down the “pumpkin” for effect.
Make Ahead
If you’re making these ahead of time, make the deviled eggs first. Then add the spider and pumpkin presentation just before serving.
Tips
- The fresher the eggs, the easier they are to peel. You want the peel to come away as cleanly as possible without taking any of the egg white with it.
- Some people find adding a bit of vinegar to their boiling water helpful in softening the peel.
- To save time, boil eggs ahead of time, even the night before. That way they’re ready to go when you are.
- Use a piping bag for neater dollops of the egg yolk mixture. It’s not a must but makes for a pretty presentation for the pumpkin eggs. The spiders will hide theirs anyway!
Storage Suggestions
Any leftover deviled eggs can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Hard-boiled eggs will also keep stored for up to 3 days if you’re planning ahead.

Video
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 Tablespoons mayo
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1-2 teaspoons pickle relish with juice
- Salt and Pepper , to taste
Spider Deviled Eggs
- 12 black olives
Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika , more to taste
- chives
Instructions
- Place eggs in a large sauce pan. Cover the eggs with an inch of cold water. Turn the heat to high and then cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
- When the water reaches a boil, cook for an additional 6 minutes (or desired time). Use a spoon to transfer to a bowl full of ice cold water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Tap the eggs on the counter until the shell cracks and then run under cold water to peel.
- Slice eggs in half vertically and then scoop the yolks out with a spoon. Place yolks into a bowl with the mayo, mustard and pickle relish. Smash with a fork until smooth. Add more mayo as needed to create desired creaminess. Salt and pepper to taste. Add the smoked paprika if making the pumpkin shaped eggs.
- Then place yolk mixture back into the egg white. You can use a spoon or place in a zip top bag and snip the top off to pipe in.
For Spiders
- For the spider deviled eggs, cut the olives in half. Put one half on top of the egg for the body. Thinly slice the other half for the legs. Place 4 legs on each side.
For Pumpkins
- Mix the smoked paprika into the egg mixture before piping. Then pipe into eggs and add a small piece of chive on top for the stem. You can also use a toothpick to create vertical lines for a pumpkin. Sprinkle extra paprika on top if desired.
