Ingredients

6 large eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Black olives (for spider decorations)

Step-by-Step Preparation

Boil the Eggs:
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then let the eggs simmer for about 10 minutes. Afterward, place them in cold water to cool and then peel off the shells.
Prepare the Filling:
Slice each egg in half lengthwise, and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Fill the Egg Whites:
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the empty egg whites. Piping helps make them look extra neat and appealing.
Create the Spider Decoration:

Spider Body: Cut one black olive in half lengthwise and place one half on each egg as the "spider body."
Spider Legs: Slice additional olives into thin strips. Arrange eight strips around the “body” on each egg to resemble legs.
