Deviled-Egg Eyeballs

Ingredients

  • 10 eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt
  • 1 jarred roasted red pepper, rinsed and dried
  • 5 black olives, cut into 1/8 inch rings.

Directions

  1. Put the eggs in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them. Set a lid on the pot and bring the water up to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, take the pot off the heat and leave the eggs covered in the hot water for 10 minutes.
  2. Pour off the water and allow the eggs to cool a bit. Peel them, then slice each egg in half.
  3. Gently remove the yolks and transfer them to a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika, then mix until combined. Add salt to taste.
  4. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg halves. Place an olive ring on each one to make the pupil.
  5. Cut the roasted red pepper into the thinnest strips you can manage. Lay a few strips around each olive so they look like veins, then do the same with the rest of the eggs.
