How to transport deviled eggs:

I highly recommend the Snapware Snap ‘N Stack 2 Layer Food Storage W/ Egg Holder Trays if you need to transport deviled eggs. I am madly in love with snapware, and this container is reasonably priced, gets your eggs there without them moving or getting squashed, and you can put thin ice packs underneath the trays to keep the eggs cold while transporting.

Tips and variations for making this eyeball deviled eggs recipe:

● Farm-fresh eggs are generally not good for this recipe. It is very difficult to peel fresh ones, and fresh eggs will not give you the same “bloodshot” look on the whites. The eggs that you purchase from the grocery store are perfect for this. Eggs you buy at a Farmer’s Market will be too fresh for this recipe. For best results, use older eggs.
● This recipe may be doubled or tripled.
● Why do we shock the eggs in ice water? There are two reasons: the eggs will immediately stop the cooking process and keep the outside of the yolks from turning grey.
● When slicing the eggs, wipe your knife clean to avoid getting yolk pieces on the whites.
● When putting the red food coloring into the water, you will want to avoid Gel Food Coloring. You will need a water-soluble food coloring to make the red veins. This recipe uses a liquid, water-based food coloring, but powdered food coloring works very well for this recipe.
● This recipe uses sliced black olives, but you may prefer sliced green olives! Or half-and-half.
● If you have red pimentos, you could place them in the center of your olive slices.
● For a little kick, add a drizzle of sriracha to the tops of the deviled eggs. It is a two-fer as it will also make them look more bloody!
● A few red pepper flakes on top of the deviled eggs adds more spice and spooky, too.
● Dijon mustard is used in this recipe, but any spicy mustard will work.
● Using a piping bag on deviled eggs makes them more visually appealing, but you can always just spoon the filling into the egg whites.
● Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
● While you can freeze the filling of the deviled eggs, you cannot freeze the whites of the egg. They become watery and quite rubbery when thawed.
