Deviled Eyes



There are many ways to make deviled eggs look spooky.  You can dye the yolks and hand-painted veins on the whites and then use olives to make these bloody Deviled Eggs, plus you can always use the  basic recipe which is just as tasty without the bloodshot effect for other events.

6 hard-boiled eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
1/3 cup creme fraiche
1 teaspoon sriracha or other spicy asian chili sauce
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon spicy mustard
1/4 lime zest
1 teaspoon lime juice
salt to taste
red food coloring (to your color preference)
sliced black Kalamata (pitted) olives

Hardboil the eggs, slice lengthwise, and put all the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash all ingredients except olives together with the cooked yolks and add food coloring until the yolks are the desired color. Spoon yolk mixture back into egg whites. Top each half with a sliced olive as the pupil. Dip a toothpick into the red food coloring and lightly draw "bloodshot" veins across the whites. Arrange on a tray and serve to horrified guests.
