Black olives are cut and assembled to look like spiders in this Spooky Spider Deviled Eggs recipe. A perfect appetizer for your Halloween party!
It’s kind of ironic that I’m writing this particular post at the same time I’m figuring out that I’m intolerant to eggs. I hate to say it, but I just can’t eat eggs anymore. I used to not have any problems with them, frequently eating scrambled eggs for breakfast. But over the summer I started noticing some digestive issues again. I thought to myself, “Wait a minute, I thought I had this intolerance-thing all figured out! Now what’s bothering me?” It took a while, but I finally realized it was eggs. So sad.
I took a month off of eating eggs and felt great. Then I decided to test them again this past week and unfortunately reacted to my delicious scrambled egg breakfast. I have read that if the digestive system is given a rest and a chance to heal, some people can go back to eating eggs. So that’s what I’m going to try. For the next three to four months I am egg-free. Hopefully at the end I will at least be able to eat baked goods with eggs, if not whole eggs themselves.

I am a fellow FODMAPper with egg issues too. Such a bummer! I am okay with them in baked goods.
It is a bummer! I think I'm ok with eggs in baked goods too, but I thought I'd take a break from anything egg for a while.
These are very awesomely cute. I'm sorry about your digestive issues though.
I just love eggs in any way shape or form hehehe.. Simple and awesome idea and very cute..
Thanks for Sharing !
Thanks! 🙂
You're welcome! Hope you try the eggs and enjoy them.
Do you think duck eggs might be ok? I've heard some people do better with them if they can't eat chicken eggs.
Hi, dianne. Your story is very moving. Regarding the eggs. Some documentation talk about how the heat radically changed the egg hence, isn't alkaline as opposed to consuming raw, which some folks can tolerate. Just two-cents worth.
Heat radically affects the egg [or any food as so] which creates more of a burden to the digestive system as opposed to eating eggs raw. Just another school of wisdom. Thanks so much for your aesthetics.
Thanks for your comment! I'll keep it mind.
Be careful with the eggs. Sometimes you develop allergies to things as you get older. If this is the case be warned about some types of vaccines also. Recipe is very cute!

What size of olives should I use? Med?
I think either medium or large olives would work fine.
