Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by placing 6-8 large eggs in a medium pot and covering them with cold water, leaving about an inch of water above the eggs.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Allow the eggs to sit for 12 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Gently tap each egg against a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the eggs under running cold water.
- Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
Mixing the Filling
- Mash the yolks with a fork or press them through a fine mesh sieve.
- Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of white vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy and well-combined.
Olive Tapenade and Assembly
- Finely chop or process 1/3 cup of black olives in a food processor until almost paste-like.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the halved egg whites.
- Using the tapenade, draw a small circle in the center of each egg, and then draw concentric circles around the central circle.
- Use a toothpick to drag from the center outward through the circles to create the spider web effect.
- Drizzle thin lines of Sriracha over the design.
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Notes
These deviled eggs can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. They are gluten-free and suitable for meal prep. Consider substituting Greek yogurt for a lower calorie option.
