• pinch of paprika
• 2-3 drops blue food colouring

3. Bring to a boil.
4. Cover the pan, remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes.

7. Cut each egg in half lengthwise.
8. Scoop out the yolks to a mixing bowl.
9. Mash the egg yolks with a fork or potato masher.
10. Add all other ingredients except for the olives. Mix thoroughly.
11. Spoon or pipe the green mixture back into each egg white, taking care not to over fill.
12. Place a slice of pimiento-stuffed olive on top of the mixture to resemble an eyeball.
13. Use the decorating gel/food pen to make squiggly lines on the egg whites to look like bloodshot eyes.
14. Arrange in pairs on a platter and serve. You can also decorate the platter itself in line with this “monstrous” theme.
