Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 hard boiled eggs
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
Food Coloring and Seasoning:
- 6 drops blue food color
- 3 drops green food color
- Salt to taste
Optional Garnish:
- Black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant blue food coloring bath by blending water and blue food color in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Using a spoon, delicately tap and create intricate cracks across the hard-boiled egg shells without removing them.
- Submerge the cracked eggs into the azure liquid and refrigerate for a minimum of 120 minutes to achieve a mesmerizing marbled effect.
- Extract eggs from refrigeration, meticulously peel the shells, and slice each egg precisely in half along its longitudinal axis.
- Extract egg yolks and transfer to a mixing bowl, then pulverize with mayonnaise, green food coloring, tangy mustard, and a splash of vinegar until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Employ a piping tool to elegantly fill the egg white cavities with the transformed yolk mixture, creating a smooth, eye-catching presentation.
- Optional: Sprinkle black sesame seeds across the surface for an additional textural and visual dimension, enhancing the spooky aesthetic.
Notes
- Cracking technique matters for perfect marbling effect, tap eggs gently to create intricate spider web-like patterns without breaking the shell completely.
- Refrigeration time impacts color intensity, longer soaking allows deeper blue hue and more pronounced crackle design on egg surface.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother yolk mixture, ensuring creamy and consistent filling that pipes easily into egg whites.
- Customize spookiness by adjusting food coloring ratios, creating different shades of blue or experimenting with alternative colors like green or purple for unique Halloween presentation.
