![]() I thought these looked funny enough as they are, and should be an easy and fun choice for your Halloween party. Maybe you could apply it with a toothpick. ![]() I can make a decent meatloaf and in the time I’ve worked as a professional cook, I made a boatload of those.īut there’s not much else to say about these, unless you want to squiggle sriracha to give it a bloodshot look, although personally, I thought the tip of the sriracha bottle made those too big. Right now it is very evil, but also very yuck. It needs to strike that perfect balance between delicious-and-nauseous and it isn’t quite there. And with a wicked squirt of sriracha in the center, they have a sinister feel. So I imagined the whites of a hard cooked egg being like the whites of eyes, filled with evilgreen, and what better with the Italian flavor of pesto than a bit of olive? But green Sicilian olives, while having the requisite red center, were quite tasty, I wanted something a little more stark. ![]() I wanted something a little more toned down, but still evil. I’d also made one of those skinless skull meatloaves recently covered with a bloodyish tomato sauce that was just too ghoulish to post. It evoked images of the creature from the black lagoon, crocodiles and little green men with little beady eyes with a devilish red glow. I had been thinking of what kind of Halloween recipes to make one afternoon not too long ago while I was in the kitchen putting together some pasta-with-pesto when I looked down at the yummy green stuff and it suddenly hit me how monstrous a color it was. Cooking with Kids: Witch Hat Treats (in the Crock.Deviled Eyeballs are eerie deviled egg appetizers with a pesto filling and are perfect for the Halloween season and parties.Or if you just want to make regular deviled eggs, don't add the food coloring or olives. Now draw red squiggle lines to make it look like the eyes are blood shot. Take the tip of your toothpick and dip it in the food coloring. ![]() Squeeze a little red food coloring onto a plate or even a spoon to use. Place your olives in the middle of the yolk. I think that if you used the round slices it would be awesome to also add in some red pimento or red bell pepper to have red eyeballs. You can choose to leave them round and have round black eyeballs in the middle, or cut smaller pieces of olive to represent the iris. Until I learned my lesson and used a piping bag) Pipe the egg yolks into the cavities of the egg whites.Ĭut your olives into slices. Trust me, it's much easier to pipe the yolk mixture into the eggs than it is to scoop it with a spoon! And if you try to use a ziploc baggie, this mixture is so thick that the baggie may burst while piping. (it should be big enough for the thick mixture to come out, but small enough so you can control the amount coming out. Spoon your yolk mixture into a piping bag and cut off a hole at the end. Add a couple drops of blue food coloring and mix well. You may also want to add more mayonnaise or mustard depending on your taste. Add salt and pepper according to your tastes. Blend well to make as smooth as possible. Mash up the yolks with a fork and then add mayonnaise and mustard. Scoop (or pop) out the yellow yolk into a small bowl. Slice your hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise. ![]()
