Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a 4-quart pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the large eggs to the boiling water and cook them for exactly 14 minutes.
- Once the 14 minutes are up, promptly transfer the eggs into an ice bath. Let the eggs sit for 15 minutes.
- After the ice bath, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to create cracks all around the shell.
- Prepare a dye bath by mixing 12 drops of gel red food coloring with 4 cups of cold water. Soak the cracked eggs for at least 2 hours.
- Once the eggs have taken on their spooky color, peel them under running water.
- Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and combine them with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites.
- To finish, place a slice of black olive on top of each filled egg and insert a small piece of diced pimento into the center.
