Spider Web Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe 385

SPIDER WEB GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• For the web: Put a large round shallow bowl on a larger round platter. Fill the bowl with the guacamole and smooth the top with a spoon or offset spatula. Fill a squeeze bottle or pastry bag with Mexican crema or sour cream (thin it out with some lime juice if needed). Pipe 4 concentric circles of crema onto the guacamole. Using the tip of a knife or skewer, pull lines from the center circle out, creating a spider web pattern.
• For the spider: Slice 1 olive in half lengthwise and use one of the halves for the spider body. Slice 8 long spider legs from the remaining 1 1/2 olives. Arrange the spider on the web. Surround the bowl of guacamole with the tortilla chips.
• For the skull: Using a paring knife, make 2 eyes on the wide end of the avocado, cutting through the skin and flesh all the way down to the pit; discard the skin and flesh. Cut an upside-down heart shape just through the skin for the nose, then remove the skin, leaving the flesh showing. For the mouth, cut a long rectangle just through the skin and remove it. Use a skewer or the tip of a knife to draw lines on the flesh for teeth.

Steps:

• Combine 2 quarts water with the food coloring in a saucepot. Gently place the eggs in the water. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Remove the eggs from the water and place on paper towels. Lightly tap the eggs with a spoon to crack the shells. Transfer the eggs to a container with some ice and pour the cooking liquid over the eggs. Chill until completely cold.
• Gently peel the eggs. Slice a thin sliver off the narrow end of each egg so the eggs can stand upright when plated. Cut off the wide end of each egg and use a small spoon or the tip of a butter knife to gently scoop out the egg yolk into a mini food processor or mixing bowl. Process the yolks (or smash with a fork). Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix until smooth. Spoon or pipe the yolk filling into the egg white cups.
• Place the egg white cups upright on a serving platter. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of the yolks. Finish each egg with a sprig of fresh dill. Serve chilled.

• Cut olives in half and place 1 half on each filled egg as the spider body. Cut the other olive half into 4 strips. Cut each strip in half, so you end up with 8 thin olive pieces for the legs. Arrange 4 olive legs on each side of the spider body. Dust with paprika.

Steps:

• Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise, placing egg whites on a serving plate and yolks in a small mixing bowl. To the yolks, add the mayonnaise and salt.

Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Place one olive half in the center of each deviled egg. Position 3 or 4 "legs" on each side of the "bodies". (Tweezers may help in positioning the legs).
