Spooky Spiderweb Eggs

These soft-boiled eggs couldn’t be easier as a Halloween recipe… and they look scarily good with their black spiderweb effect! All you need is two ingredients and 30 minutes. Easy!

PREP TIME
5 minutes
COOK TIME
25 minutes
SERVES

Ingredients

8 large fresh eggs

6 tsp black food colouring gel

Steps
  • Step 1

    Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, gently place eggs into the water with a spoon and cook for 6 minutes. Once the timer goes off, place eggs straight into a bowl of cold or iced water to stop them from cooking further and to cool them down completely.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, empty the saucepan and refill it to two-thirds capacity with water. Bring water to the boil, then turn off the heat. Add the black dye gel (you want it nice and dark), then give the water a stir to ensure it’s dissolved.

  • Step 3

    Remove an egg from the ice bath and, using the back of a teaspoon, crack the shell all over without breaking into the skin (small cracks are ok). Add to the dye mix then repeat with remaining eggs.

  • Step 4

    Leave eggs submerged in the black mix for 20 minutes. Peel the eggs (it’s a good idea to wear plastic gloves for this part!) to reveal the spiderweb pattern inside.

  • Notes
    Notes:

    – Serve these as part of a Halloween themed party food or Halloween bento box with Jack O’Lantern Rice Balls and Mummy Dogs.
