Instructions
Preparation
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.

- Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Assembly
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
- Cut a pitted olive in half lengthwise. Place one half on the filling to make a spider body.
- Cut more olives into thin strips. Place four strips on each side of the body to make eight legs. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

Notes
Cool the eggs fully before peeling and filling them. Store in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Avoid freezing.
