Who doesn’t love a classic deviled egg? Kick up the fright factor a bit with these inexpensive and easy Halloween appetizers.

The classic deviled egg recipe gets a creepy cool makeover to disguise them as the ultimate Halloween bite. They’re sure to be a hit with all of your ghoulish guests

INGREDIENTS
1 dozen eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup mustard
1 can sliced black olives, drained
Blue food coloring
Hot sauce
DIRECTIONS
Fill up a large saucepan half-way with water and gently add the eggs. Cover eggs with at least 1 inch of water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 12-15 minutes. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over the eggs. Let sit in the cool water a few minutes, changing the water if necessary to keep it cool.
Peel the eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolk halves and place in a small bowl. Add mayonnaise and mustard and mix until creamy. Add a couple of drops of blue food coloring to yolk to make a green hue for the eyeballs.
Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter and distribute yolk mixture evenly. Top each deviled egg with a sliced black olive in the center.
Take a toothpick and draw your hot sauce lightly on the egg white in a squiggly line to make veins. Add a drop of hot sauce in center of olive to make the red middle.

Eggs in bread bowl

Ingredients

6
kaiser rolls (4 to 5 inches in diameter)
6
Land O Lakes® all-natural farm-fresh eggs
6
teaspoons heavy whipping cream
6
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
3
teaspoons chopped fresh chives
3
teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions
1Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Cut thin 3-inch round slice from tops of rolls; reserve tops. Leaving 1/2 inch around side of each roll, remove bread from inside, creating 1/2-inch deep cavity; discard bread crumbs. Place bread bowls on cookie sheet.
2For each bread bowl, crack egg into cavity. Top egg with 1 tablespoon whipping cream, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1/2 teaspoon chives and 1/2 teaspoon parsley; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3Bake 10 minutes; place reserved tops on bread bowls. Bake 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and whites and yolks of eggs are firm, not runny.

Tips
If you prefer, you can substitute whole wheat, white, brioche, or challah rolls for the kaiser rolls. Feel free to use fresh basil, thyme, or any other fresh herb you have on hand. For added variety, substitute grated Cheddar, mozzarella, gouda or crumbled feta cheese for the grated Parmesan cheese. All would taste wonderful baked in your egg bowl.

BAKED EGGS WITH HAM AND GRITS

2 cups of water

2 Tblspn.of polenta grits*

1 1/4 cup of shreddd Cheddar cheese

6 pieces of bacon, chopped

salt and pepper

1/4 Tspn. poultr seasoning

4 large eggs

*Quick-cooking grits like Quaker could also be used

Preheat the oven to 350F, and grease an 8 inch baking pan. Set aside. Using kitchen scissors cut bacon into strips, no wider than your index finger. In a medium pan, cook until crispy. In the meantime cook the grits with butter and water according to manufacturers directions. Mix 1 cup of cheese, and the bacon with a little bit of grease into the grits. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour grits mixture into a greased 8 inch square pan. Make a spoon indent a corner and place one of the cracked eggs. Repeat this in all four corners. Sprinkle poultry seasoning a top each cracked egg. Place pan in the oven, carefully! You want to avoid jostling the eggs too much causing the white to spill over the grits. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and sprinkle last 1/4 cup of cheese atop. Place back in oven until cheese melts, approximately 1-2 minutes. The yolk of the eggs will be runny.

Because the eggs are easily jostled, you can see from the photo that the white can run. Ideally, you want to keep all of the egg into the little bed you created within the grits. Also, it can be quite difficult getting each serving onto a plate because the yolks are runny. So be careful or you may end up with soupy slop on your plate!
