Spiderweb Deviled Eggs Black Sesame (Printable Version)

Eggs dyed spiderweb-style with rich black sesame filling—a spooky, flavorful bite for festive entertaining.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

→ Coloring & Decoration

02 - 4 cups water
03 - 1 tablespoon black tea leaves or 2 black tea bags
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 2 teaspoons black food coloring (gel or liquid)

→ Filling

06 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
07 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
08 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
09 - 1 tablespoon finely ground black sesame seeds
10 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Garnish

11 - 1 tablespoon whole black sesame seeds

# Directions:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover by at least one inch with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
02 - Transfer cooked eggs to a bowl of cold water. Once cool enough to handle, gently tap the shells all over to create cracks without removing the shells.
03 - In a clean saucepan, combine 4 cups water, black tea leaves or tea bags, salt, and black food coloring. Bring to a low simmer.
04 - Place the cracked eggs into the colored tea mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let soak an additional 15 to 20 minutes to intensify the pattern.
05 - Remove eggs from the dye bath. Peel off the shells to reveal the spiderweb design, then slice eggs in half lengthwise.
06 - Gently remove yolks from each egg half and place in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks thoroughly with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and finely ground black sesame until creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
07 - Pipe or spoon the prepared filling into the hollows of each egg white half.
08 - Sprinkle each deviled egg with whole black sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
