Rotten Deviled Eggs for Halloween

These Rotten Deviled Eggs are the ultimate creepy snack for your Halloween spread. The black-tinted egg whites and bold orange filling give them a spooky look, but they still pack all the classic deviled egg flavor you expect. It’s a quick, fun twist on a party favorite that’ll get everyone talking—and grabbing seconds.

They’re weird-looking, in the best way. The dramatic colors make them perfect for Halloween parties, but they come together with just a few pantry staples and a couple drops of food coloring. You can prep them a few hours ahead, so you’re not scrambling the day of.

Helpful Tips

• Use gel food coloring for the deepest black and brightest orange. A little goes a long way, and it won’t thin out your filling or soak into the whites.
• Soak the peeled egg whites in a bowl of water mixed with black food coloring until they reach your desired level of darkness—30 minutes usually does the trick.
• Pipe the filling into the eggs for a cleaner, more dramatic look. You can even use a star tip for extra flair.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 6 large eggs
• 10 drops black food coloring gel
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon pickle juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 drops orange food coloring or 2 drops red/2 drops yellow
• Everything But the Bagel seasoning

Instructions

 

• Boil the eggs for 12 minutes, then put them in a bowl with ice water to cool for 10 minutes.
• Lightly crack the eggs by rolling them on the countertop. Put them in a bag with about 10 drops of black food coloring gel. Mix the gel all around so the eggs are coated. Put them in the refrigerator overnight.
• Carefully peel the eggs (I wear gloves to prevent staining my hands).
• Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks.
• In a bowl, mix the yolks with the mayo, pickle juice, salt, and mustard. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
• Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg halves. Garnish with Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
