Instructions
Preparation of Deviled Eggs:
- Start with older eggs for easier peeling.
- Bring water to a boil, add half a teaspoon of salt, then gently lower the eggs into the water with a spoon.
- Once the eggs are in, reduce the heat to prevent them from bouncing and possibly cracking.

Assembling the Eggs:
- Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks.
- Mash the yolks and mix with mustard, mayonnaise, cream, salt, and pepper to create the filling.
- Refill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
- Decorating Eggs to Look Like Spiders:
- Cut one olive in half for the spider’s body.
- Slice another olive into thin strips to make the spider’s legs.
- Place half an olive on each egg as the body, and arrange the strips around it to mimic legs.
