Real wasabi is native to Japan and is made by grating the underground stem of the wasabi plant. That’s because I’m using real wasabi paste, which has a cleaner, smoother and less sinus-clearing effect than the manufactured stuff. If you’ve ever tasted “wasabi” from your local sushi place, you might think I’m crazy adding a whole tablespoon of wasabi paste to this deviled egg filling. I’ve also found that the older your eggs are, the more air pockets are present inside the shells, so when you peel the eggs, they’ve already got a little shimmy room and slip out of their shells more easily. Resting the eggs in the hot water gently cooks them all the way through (and gives them the perfect consistency for making deviled eggs) without the gray-green yolk and plunging them into the ice bath gradually stops the cooking and chills them to the core, which makes them easier to peel. Why I like this method for making hard boiled eggsīy only boiling the eggs for 2 minutes, you reduce the amount of clanging, which in turn, reduces the chances of cracking the eggs prematurely. (Peel under running water if they stick). After resting, transfer the eggs to an ice bath and set the timer for another 13 minutes.Remove the pot from the heat and let the eggs rest in the hot water.Bring the pot to a rolling boil and cook for 2 minutes.Place the eggs in a large saucepan and add enough cool water to cover the eggs by one inch.Additionally, overcooked egg yolks taste dry and chalky and the egg whites get rubbery… That’s not what we’re going for with these spooky deviled eggs. Overcooking can result in that unsightly tell-tale grayish-green ring around the yolks. You want the egg yolks to be cooked through without over-cooking. The first step in making these Halloween eggs is hard boiling them. However, you can easily double or triple the recipe for the size of your crowd. I’ve scaled this recipe down - using only half a dozen eggs (because I’m actually making these eyeball deviled eggs in August and I don’t need a bevy of Halloween appetizers at the moment). They’re ridiculously easy, convincingly creepy and undeniably delicious! Perfect for Halloween celebrations. You don’t need any fancy equipment or years of art-school lessons to make these spooky eyeball deviled eggs. The flavor is amazing when spiked with a little real wasabi paste OR you can use this more traditional deviled egg recipe for the filling. These macabre Halloween deviled eggs will be a sure fire hit for any party. Whether you’re entertaining a hoard of pre-teen goblins or a group of masked adults for this ghoulish holiday, you’ll want some tasty Halloween snacks and appetizers to feed the crowd.
