Hard boiled or deviled, for the children at home or for a party, these blood-shot eyes fit right in with the season.
Crack, but do not peel, hard boiled eggs. Add a good amount of red food coloring to water and soak the eggs for a couple of hours. Rinse, peel and prepare as usual. Top with an olive slice. Although I used a larger leaf of lettuce for the purpose of this photograph, it occurred to me that you actually can cut egg shapes from lettuce leaves and place them on top of the deviled eggs before turning them over on a serving plate. That way, the good egg filling will not be left behind as guests serve themselves.

LOL!!! When I saw those two eyes staring, it cracked me up! A super fun idea for kids or adults. Thanks for making my day!
