Instructions
- Gently submerge eggs in cold water and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer for precise egg preparation.
- Remove eggs from heat and let them rest in hot water for optimal texture and easy peeling.
- Carefully crack and peel eggs under cool running water to ensure smooth surface.

- Incorporate vivid food coloring to transform yolk mixture into spooky Halloween hues like green, purple, or orange.
- Transfer yolk mixture into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill egg white cavities evenly.

Notes
- Optimize egg peeling by using slightly older eggs, which separate from the shell more easily.
- Enhance food safety by ensuring eggs are thoroughly cooked and chilled quickly after boiling.
- Customize spookiness with natural food coloring alternatives like beetroot or spinach juice for healthier Halloween colors.
- Prep eggs ahead of time and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days to reduce day-of cooking stress.
