Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing the large eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water, ensuring the water level is about an inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then immediately turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the eggs to an ice bath using a slotted spoon. Allow the eggs to cool for at least 5 minutes to make peeling easier.
- Tap each egg gently on the countertop to crack the shell, then roll it slightly to loosen the pieces. Peel the eggs under cool running water for the best results.
- Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise, separating the whites from the yolks. Place all the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Using a toothpick or small brush, carefully create vein-like patterns on the egg whites with red food coloring.
- Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag until it forms a nice dome shape.
- Slice black olives in half and place one half on each filled egg as the pupil.
