Ingredients
  

  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs
  • Food coloring purple, green, black, or red
  • Water to cover eggs
  • Splash of white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Optional garnish: paprika chia seeds, parsley

Instructions
 

  • Gently tap each egg on a hard surface, rolling lightly to create cracks all over. Place cracked eggs into bowls with water, food coloring, and a splash of vinegar. Soak for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Peel eggs to reveal spiderweb patterns. Slice in half and scoop yolks into a mixing bowl.
  • Mash yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy. Optional: add food coloring to filling for extra flair.
  • Spoon or pipe the filling into egg whites. Garnish with paprika or parsley. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

Use vibrant colors and soak longer for deeper spiderweb cracks. Don’t over-crack to avoid dye bleed. Store dyed eggs in airtight containers. Make ahead up to 3 days—just keep them covered in the fridge.
