Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon black gel food coloring
1 dozen large eggs, preferably older
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
12 sprigs fresh dill, for garnish

Cut off the wide end of each egg and use a small spoon or the tip of a butter knife to gently scoop out the egg yolk into a mini food processor or mixing bowl. Process the yolks (or smash with a fork). Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix until smooth. Spoon or pipe the yolk filling into the egg white cups.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups guacamole
1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
Lime juice, if needed
2 pitted black olives
Blue corn tortilla chips, for serving
1 firm avocado, skin-on

Steps:

  • For the web: Put a large round shallow bowl on a larger round platter. Fill the bowl with the guacamole and smooth the top with a spoon or offset spatula. Fill a squeeze bottle or pastry bag with Mexican crema or sour cream (thin it out with some lime juice if needed). Pipe 4 concentric circles of crema onto the guacamole. Using the tip of a knife or skewer, pull lines from the center circle out, creating a spider web pattern.
  • For the spider: Slice 1 olive in half lengthwise and use one of the halves for the spider body. Slice 8 long spider legs from the remaining 1 1/2 olives. Arrange the spider on the web. Surround the bowl of guacamole with the tortilla chips.
  • For the skull: Using a paring knife, make 2 eyes on the wide end of the avocado, cutting through the skin and flesh all the way down to the pit; discard the skin and flesh. Cut an upside-down heart shape just through the skin for the nose, then remove the skin, leaving the flesh showing. For the mouth, cut a long rectangle just through the skin and remove it. Use a skewer or the tip of a knife to draw lines on the flesh for teeth.

Add eggs to colored water and Refrigerate the eggs overnight. Drain water and peel the shells to reveal the cool spidery webs of color. This is the most fun part of this recipe.

SPIDER WEB S'MORES



Spider Web S'mores image

Taking the traditional s'more and giving it a Halloween twist! Perfect if you don't have a fire pit for roasting and great for a crowd. The only 'cooking' involved is melting the chocolate. If you don't want to take the time to melt the chocolate, they sell chocolate icing in piping bags already for cakes and cookies. You can buy those for easy use, especially if this is for kids.
