    These Halloween Deviled eggs are super cute, attention grabbing, and filled with flavor. Make 1 Batch of eggs, serve 4 different flavors!

    A plate of Halloween deviled eggs, with a variety of fillings and styles in red, orange, lime green, and purple.

    The past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on festive treats for my other two blogs - posting some of my favorite Halloween recipes.

    I didn’t want this blog to feel left out (apparently I’m in the mood to anthropomorphize blogs today?), so here I am with some easy Halloween appetizers that are naturally keto friendly!

    I make the best deviled eggs, probably because I’m so practiced at it, LOL. It’s the best way to get a quick hit of fat and protein, so they get made OFTEN when I’m on a low carb diet.

    My deviled egg filling tends to vary - sometimes wildly - based on what mood I’m in, but the technique and general proportions of the base deviled eggs recipe generally stay pretty similar.

    Sometimes I use spicy mustard, sometimes I lean into more “egg salad” flavours, etc.

    With all of the Halloween themed brownies, cupcakes, and pastries going through my kitchen in the past little while, it was time to share this great spooky treat with you!

    Note: I've since posted my Bacon Wrapped Mummy Meatloaf and my Keto Witch Finger Cookies - a couple more keto Halloween recipe options!

    Designing Halloween Deviled Eggs

    It was so much fun to design these!

    My first idea was to go super literal with “deviled eggs”, planning to fashion some devil’s horns out of roasted red bell pepper ... Or maybe fresh bell peppers. Tiny chili pepper triangles were another option I considered, as well as bacon bit pieces.

    Then I got distracted by OTHER ideas.

    I tend to think that you eat with the eyes first, so I put in the teeny bit of extra effort to split my deviled egg recipe into 4 different color & flavor combinations.

    I knew I wanted to do one as an olive spider, and another as a pumpkin.

    At this point, the “devil-ed” eggs got nixed on aesthetic reasons.

    I didn’t think that dying the filling red would provide enough contrast for the horns, and decided to use red to make a spooky eyeball deviled egg - goblin eyes, maybe demon eyes?

    Either way, With one red and one orange, I didn’t think that the devil ones would fit well with the bright look I was going for. Maybe I’ll do something like that on its own, some time?

    With orange and red established, I decided that a lime green and purple would bring it around to feeling more “Halloween”.

    I decided to go with a jalapeno lime flavour for the green, so the olive spider ended up on the purple.

    You know, in case you were interested in the thought process here!

    Anyway, now that I’ve done that fussing around with color and flavor logistics?

    It’s already done, when you’re planning your next Halloween party!

    Ingredients

    Aside from the food colouring, this uses some very simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store. A few notes:

    Large Eggs

    I use a dozen eggs when making a party batch of these (or multiples of a dozen, for larger groups). Yes, it only makes 20 egg halves, when you’d expect 20.

    Because there’s a bit of waste involved with splitting and piping the filling (as it sticks to the vessels you’re using), I like to toss 2 of the eggs into the filling.

    Because I use a mini food processor, they come out just as creamy and smooth as without the extra egg yolks - and added egg whites.

    Personally, I would prefer to have a little extra left over, than feel like I have to skimp on the filling.

    Also? This gives you a little breathing room when it comes to peeling the eggs. If you mess one or two up, it’s no big deal!

    On that note, if you follow my directions to hard boil eggs AND choose eggs that aren’t SUPER fresh (really fresh eggs are harder to peel), you shouldn’t run into any problems with peeling these.

    Food coloring

    When it comes to food coloring (especially black food dye, for future reference!), I prefer to use a gel food coloring, rather than a paste or liquid.

    Specifically, I recommend Americolor (what I used when I was in the USA), or ChefMaster (Which is the option more readily available here!).

    They’re just so much more potent than liquid food coloring. You want to overpower the yellow from the yolks - especially when it comes to the purple, red, and green food coloring. Gel will do so, beautifully!

    Everything Else

    Aside from the eggs and dye, you’ll want a combination of some pretty basic deviled egg ingredients, and some specific flavour boosters.

    I use:

    Mayo
    Dijon mustard
    Pickle brine
    Lime juice
    Sriracha
    Pitted black olives
    Fresh chives or green onion
    Jalapeno Powder
    Smoked Paprika
    Salt and pepper

    Note: These aren’t all used in the same eggs! See the recipe for how to split it all out.

    4 brightly colored deviled eggs. The filling of one looks like a pumpkin, another looks like a demon eye, and another has a spider.

    How to Make Halloween Deviled Eggs

    Full recipe follows in the recipe card at the end of the post, here is the pictorial step by step instruction:

    Boil the Eggs

    First step: bring a large pot of hot water to a boil over high heat. Carefully use a slotted spoon to place eggs in the boiling water, boil for 13 minutes.

    Drain eggs, place in a bowl of ice water and allow to cool to ALMOST room temperature.

    Note: Slightly warm eggs are easier to peel, than cold eggs!

    Once eggs are cool, carefully roll the eggs to crack the shells a little. Peel the shells off the cracked eggs, discarding the egg shells.

    Give each a good rinse under cold water to remove any bits of shell. I like to place them on paper towels to absorb the extra moisture.

    Make the Fillings

    Chop your 2 ugliest eggs, place in a mini food processor.

    Use a sharp knife to carefully cut each of the remaining eggs in half, removing the yolk from each of the egg halves as you go.

    A 2 part image showing eggs being cut in half and the yolks removed.

    Add the egg yolks to the food processor along with the mayo, mustard, and Dijon.

    Place all the yolks in the mini food processor, blitz to form a creamy filling.

    A 5 part image showing the yolks and other filling ingredients being blended.

    Equally divide the egg yolk mixture into 4 small bowls.

    In the first small bowl, stir in ½ teaspoon pickle brine, tint egg mixture with purple food colouring, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    In a separate bowl, stir in ½ teaspoon pickle brine and 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika. Tint with orange food colouring, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    In the third bowl, stir in ½ teaspoon lime juice and 1 teaspoon Sriracha. Tint with red food coloring, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    In the fourth bowl, stir in ½ teaspoon lime juice and ¼ teaspoon Jalapeno powder. Tint with green food colouring, season with salt and pepper, to taste. (You can add more jalapeno powder if you like, just give it a minute or two to develop the flavour a bit, before you decide!

    An 8 part image showing the divided filling being colored and flavored 4 different ways.

    Fill & Decorate!

    Spoon or pipe the fillings into the egg white halves, 5 halves per color of filling. I like to use a piping bag for this, as pictured.

    Note: If you pipe a peak and don’t want it peaked, use a clean, damp finger to gently tap it down and smooth it out.

    A 2 part image showing orange piped filling with a peak, and then that peak after having been patted down.

    Spider Eggs: Cut a few black olives in half, lengthwise. Place 1 sliced olive half each of the purple filled eggs. Cut remaining olive halves into thin slices for “spider legs”, place 8 on each egg as shown.

    Demon Eye Eggs: Slice the a couple olives into thirds - lengthwise - and trim to look like slit pupils. Add to the center of the red filling.

    Pumpkin Eggs: Use a toothpick to form lines in the orange piped filling. Add a small piece of chive to each, as a “stem”.

    A 6 part image showing the olive spiders, eye slits, and green onion stems being added to the piped eggs.

    Green Eggs: You can leave them as-is, or add a couple confectionary eyeballs to each, if you like.

    Serve immediately, or cover and chill.

    Leftover deviled eggs are usually good for 3 days or so.
