Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 8 drops of red food coloring
- 8 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 or 2 large red tomatoes (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare colored water: In a bowl, mix the water and red food coloring. Stir well until the color is consistent.
- Crack the egg shells: Use a spoon to gently crack the hard-boiled eggs all over. Be careful not to break them fully.
- Soak eggs: Place the cracked eggs in the bowl of colored water. Refrigerate for 2 hours, turning them halfway through if they are not fully submerged.
- Peel eggs: Carefully remove the eggs from the colored water, dry them off, and peel the shells.
- Halve the eggs: Gently cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Make the filling: Scoop out the yolks into a food processor. Add the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pipe the filling: Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag and pipe it into the cavities of the egg whites.
- Prepare tomato shapes: Use a very sharp knife to cut thin slices of tomato peel into arrow shapes for the tails and triangles for the horns.
- Garnish: Press the tomato shapes into the yolk mixture to create your spooky decorations.
Notes
Use week-old eggs for easier peeling, and feel free to get creative with the colors for Halloween.
