Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (plus more for dusting)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Black sesame seeds (for decoration)
- Chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional, for accents)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and cool for at least 10 minutes. Peel the eggs under running water and pat dry.
- Slice each egg lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl, keeping the whites intact.
- Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
- Pipe the filling back into the egg white halves.
- Decorate with black sesame seeds to create eyes, mouths, or other Halloween shapes. Dust with paprika if desired.
Notes
Store filling and whites separately until serving to prevent sogginess. Hard-boiled eggs can be prepped up to 2 days in advance. Do not freeze. For a vegan version, use vegan eggs and mayonnaise.
