High in protein and naturally colored with a spooky cracked shell effect, these party-ready deviled eggs feature a creamy, tangy avocado-yogurt filling with just a hint of spice.

Deviled eggs have long held a beloved place in party spreads around the globe. Their origin traces back to ancient Rome, evolving through centuries into the creamy-filled delicacy we know today. This Halloween version puts a modern, health-conscious spin on tradition—infused with avocado and Greek yogurt instead of heavy mayo and visually inspired by eerie cobwebs. A nod to spooky celebrations, these eggs strike a delicious balance between festive fun and nutritious eating.
What sets these deviled eggs apart is the vibrant green filling made from ripe avocado and tangy Greek yogurt, delivering richness without heaviness. A dash of mustard, lime juice, and garlic elevates the flavor profile, while the optional chili flakes add a surprising kick. The blue-black spiderweb shells are created naturally with red cabbage dye—proving you can be creepy and clean-eating.
To achieve the signature spiderweb look, hard-boiled eggs are gently cracked and soaked in a natural dye made from red cabbage. This technique, though simple, requires patience and a bit of kitchen magic. Blending the filling to creamy perfection is the second act—an immersion blender or food processor ensures a silky texture. Assembling with precision and flair turns a humble egg into a Halloween showstopper.
These naturally dyed deviled eggs with avocado-yogurt filling are spooky, nutritious, and irresistibly creamy—perfect for Halloween parties.
Combine shredded red cabbage and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the liquid into a bowl, discarding the solids. Add vinegar to the liquid and let cool completely.
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
Gently tap the eggshells to create a web of cracks without peeling. Submerge cracked eggs in the cooled cabbage dye for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper color.
Carefully peel the dyed eggs to reveal spiderweb patterns. Cut each egg in half and scoop out yolks into a bowl.
Add avocado, yogurt, mustard, lime juice, garlic powder, and optional chili to the yolks. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag or ziplock with a corner cut off. Pipe into each egg white half in a decorative swirl.
