Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

Slice the peeled hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them into a small bowl.
Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper using a fork until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the center of the egg whites. Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top. 🥚
To create the spider bodies: Cut one black olive in half lengthwise. Place one half in the center of the yolk mound.
To create the spider legs: Take remaining olives and cut them into thin, curved slivers. Arrange 4 sliver ‘legs’ on each side of the olive body. 🕷️
If using, sprinkle the finely crumbled turkey bacon around the plate for added flavor and texture.
