Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
- 1–2 tbsp Sriracha (plus extra for decorating veins)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 12 green olives stuffed with pimento (sliced into rounds)
Optional for Decoration:
- Red food coloring (for more dramatic “bloodshot” veins)
- Paprika (light dusting inside filling for added color)
Instructions
- Hard Boil the Eggs Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely before peeling.
- Prepare the Filling Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar/lemon juice, and Sriracha until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Eyeballs Pipe or spoon filling back into egg whites. Place a green olive slice (with pimento) in the center of each egg for the “iris.”
- Create the Bloodshot Effect Use a toothpick dipped in Sriracha or red food coloring to draw thin lines radiating outwards from the olive. This will mimic bloodshot veins.
- Chill and Serve Arrange eggs on a platter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
