Instructions
Boil the Eggs:
Place eggs in a large pot of cold water with ½ teaspoon baking soda (this should help them peel more easily). Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, then cover with a lid and let sit for 12 minutes. Immediately place in an ice bath for 10+ minutes. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise
Make the Deviled Egg Filling:
Place 2 whole eggs and the remaining 12 egg yolks into a food processor. Add the mayo, relish, mustard and salt and pepper. Mix on high until smooth, scraping the sides down after the first 10 seconds. Scoop the filling into a pastry bag with desired tip (I used a star tip).
Make the Halloween Deviled Eggs:
Get the red decorator pen and draw little squiggly lines on the egg white, to appear like bloodshot eyes. See above for a visual, if desired. Fill the egg yolk hole with filling, bringing it above the top of the egg. Place an olive in the center of the filling. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
We love adding a little extra protein by swapping a lot of the mayo for Greek yogurt. Just be careful, you want to keep at least ⅓ of it as mayo or the texture will be weird.
If your relish has large chunks, make sure to run it through a blender real quick to break up the chunks. Otherwise they get in the pastry bag tip and clog it making it hard to work with.
When making the bloodshot eyes, I like to start from the center and work my way out. They are easy to do and hard to mess up!
