- Peel the cooled eggs and cut each egg in half lengthwise.
- Prepare the filling by mashing the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
- Create the spider decoration by cutting black olives in half for the body and slicing smaller pieces for the legs. Arrange them atop each deviled egg.
- Serve the finished deviled eggs on a platter.
Notes
Use fresh eggs for easier peeling. Cool rapidly to prevent gray yolks. Adjust seasoning to taste.
