This recipe makes one dozen Spider Web Eggs. You can double or triple the recipe, if you’d like. Everyone likes to have low carb choices at a Halloween party, so this is definitely a good one to include.
How do you make Spider Web Eggs?
Hard boil some eggs with frozen blueberries (known for their natural staining ability) to prep them for their web creations. The eggs will turn a light shade of gray. Remove the eggs and whack them gently with the handle of a whisk- to create a nice ‘crack.’ Place the cracked eggs into a bowl and pour the blueberry cooking liquid over the top. Place the bowl in the fridge to give the tinted liquid a chance to do its magic, and let the eggs cool completely. I need to make it clear right here that these eggs will not taste like blueberries at all!! They’re just used for staining the webs. Gently peel the cooled eggs to reveal the spidery web that has been created under shell. The web will be a dark gray color, and again… the Spider Web Eggs will NOT taste of blueberries in any way!
The result is a bunch of eggs looking rather spider-webby. Serve them up with a little dish of your favorite chunky salt. I recommend gray sea salt for a spookier pairing. And don’t forget to add some scary spiders. If you’re a really cool parent, you can plan to slip these into your kid’s lunchbox with a couple of fake spiders tucked in there too!
