SPIDER WEB DEVILED EGGS
Steps:
- Combine 2 quarts water with the food coloring in a saucepot. Gently place the eggs in the water. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the water and place on paper towels. Lightly tap the eggs with a spoon to crack the shells. Transfer the eggs to a container with some ice and pour the cooking liquid over the eggs. Chill until completely cold.
- Gently peel the eggs. Slice a thin sliver off the narrow end of each egg so the eggs can stand upright when plated. Cut off the wide end of each egg and use a small spoon or the tip of a butter knife to gently scoop out the egg yolk into a mini food processor or mixing bowl. Process the yolks (or smash with a fork). Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix until smooth. Spoon or pipe the yolk filling into the egg white cups.
- Place the egg white cups upright on a serving platter. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of the yolks. Finish each egg with a sprig of fresh dill. Serve chilled.

Steps:
- Boil eggs. Cool under running water and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight. Remove eggs from the refrigerator and using the back of a spoon, tap the shells in various places. This is what gives you the spiderweb pattern. Into a large bowl and add enough water to cover the eggs and add the gel food coloring and mix well. Add eggs to colored water and Refrigerate the eggs overnight. Drain water and peel the shells to reveal the cool spidery webs of color. This is the most fun part of this recipe. The eggs are stunningly beautiful. I may never color Easter eggs the same way again. Cut eggs in half, place yolks in a food processor and continue to prepare the guacamole egg filling below. Place egg white halves in single layer in a shallow dish and refrigerate until ready to assemble. In a food processor, blend yolks, avocado, lime, and herbs and spices until very smooth. Transfer into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe into spiderweb eggs and garnish with crushed blue corn chips or red pepper flakes (not pictured) or even top with your favorite salsa for a bloody effect. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until well combined. For a smoother filling, you can also use a food processor to blend the ingredients.
- Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. To create a spider web design, pipe the filling in a spiral motion, starting from the center of the egg white and working your way out. Use a toothpick to drag the filling from the center to the edges of the egg white, creating a web-like pattern.
- Garnish the deviled eggs with chopped parsley, chives, or paprika. Serve immediately or chill them for later.
