These spooky cute black cat deviled eggs are the perfect Halloween appetizer, combining creamy deviled eggs with adorable cat faces made from olives, chives, and paprika. They’re a crowd-pleaser that’s both fun and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 6 pitted black olives (jumbo or colossal)
  • 12 small fresh chives (about 2 inches long each)
  • Extra smoked paprika for dusting

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for exactly 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare an ice bath with cold water and ice. Transfer eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
  3. Peel the eggs under cold running water, starting from the wider end. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently pop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter, cut side up.
  4. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Spoon the filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip off the tip and pipe the filling into each egg white half, mounding slightly in the center.
  6. Slice black olives into rounds. Place two olive rounds on each filled egg for eyes, positioned slightly toward the top of the dome and angled slightly inward.
  7. For ears, lightly dust a tiny triangle shape above each eye with smoked paprika using a fine-mesh strainer or fingertip.
  8. Cut chives into 1.5-inch pieces. Gently press three chive pieces into the filling on each side of the face for whiskers.
  9. Lightly dust the entire platter with a tiny pinch of smoked paprika. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. For the paprika ears, lightly moisten the area with a dab of filling before dusting to help the paprika stick. Assemble the cat faces no more than an hour before serving to keep chive whiskers crisp. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
