🥚 Ingredients:
- 12 boiled eggs
- 8 drops super black food gel
- 5 cups water
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche (or whipped cream cheese/sour cream)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 10 drops orange food gel
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds (for garnish)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs
Cook your eggs using your preferred method (boil, steam, or Instant Pot). Let them cool completely before the next step. - Crack & Color the Shells
Mix black food dye with water in a large bowl. Gently crack each egg all over using the back of a spoon (use a towel to hold for grip), then place them in the dyed water. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for a spiderweb crackle effect 🕸️. - Peel & Prep
Peel the eggs and slice them in half. Instead of scooping with a spoon, gently push the yolk out from the bottom for a clean release. - Make the Orange Filling
In a bowl, combine the yolks, mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, creme fraiche, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Stir in orange food coloring until vibrant and fully mixed. - Pipe Like a Pro
Transfer filling to a zip-top bag fitted with a star piping tip. (Use a tall glass to hold the bag open while filling.) Pipe the mixture into each egg half — they’ll look like mini pumpkins! 🎃 - Garnish & Chill
Top with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Keep eggs chilled in a deviled egg carrier or covered plate until ready to serve.
🧠 Pro Tips:
- Make Ahead: Boil, slice, and prep the day before. Pipe filling right before the party!
- Color Options: Try purple, green, or orange shells for variety — or even spider-shaped toppings with black olives!
- Easy Swap: No creme fraiche? Use whipped cream cheese or sour cream for the same creamy effect.
