Ingredients

  • 4 - 6 eggs
  • Red and green gel-based food color I used Americolor gel food colors, liquid color is also fine
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon softened herbed butter
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • A few pitted green or black olives cut into rings

Instructions

Instant Pot method for boiling eggs:

  • Place a steaming rack such as this one on the base of the Instant Pot.
  • Pour in a cup of water.
  • Set the Instant Pot to Manual or Pressure cook mode. Set the time for 5 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, and then perform a quick release of steam. Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath or a basin with cold water and let them cool off for another 5 minutes. (Do not peel yet)

Stove top method for boiling the eggs:

  • Alternatively, to make hard boiled eggs on the stove-top, place eggs in a pot and pour in water to cover. On high heat, let the water boil, as soon as it begins boiling, turn off heat, cover pot with a lid, and let it stand for 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath or a basin with cold water and let them cool off for another 5 minutes. (Do not peel yet)
  • If you like a veined look for your eggs, follow the steps below. Alternatively, you could also skip this part entirely and simply dab a bit of red color over the egg whites.
  • Gently crack the eggs with a spoon, without peeling them.
  • Mix some of the red food color in a small bowl of water and let the cracked eggs sit in the colored water for 20-30 minutes.
  • After 20-30 minutes take out the eggs and peel them. They should have a slightly veined red color running over them.

To make the deviled eggs:

  • Scoop out the egg yolks and transfer to a bowl.
  • Mix in the cream cheese, butter, milk, mayonnaise and green food color. Mix well until well combined.
  • Using a piping bag, pipe in the colored egg yolks into the hollows of the egg whites.
  • Place a green or black olive ring over each piped egg yolk mixture.
  • Using a thin toothpick dipped in the red food color, mark out the radiating veins of the eyes.
  • Place the egg yolks on a tray and serve with a side of spider and pumpkin!
