Savory Halloween Recipes: 3 Easy and Frighteningly Good Ideas with Organic Oils
The Magic of Halloween Meets the Taste of Well-Being
As October 31st approaches, the air fills with a magical — and slightly spooky — atmosphere. Little witches and ghosts take to the streets, homes are decorated with cobwebs and carved pumpkins, and everyone eagerly awaits an evening of fun and “trick or treat.” Hosting a themed party or aperitif is part of the magic, and the search for savory Halloween recipes that are easy, creative, and delicious becomes a ritual for anyone who wants to surprise their guests.

Spider-Eye Deviled Eggs with Homemade Mayonnaise made with Benvolio Organic Avocado Oil
Notes
Spider-Eye Deviled Eggs with Homemade Mayonnaise made with Benvolio Organic Avocado Oil
This appetizer proves that you can create something spooky, eye-catching, and delicious in just a few minutes.Stuffed eggs are a buffet classic, but our version turns them into creepy-cute spider eyes.
The real twist lies in the filling: instead of using store-bought mayonnaise, we make a healthier, creamier version at home using our
Benvolio Organic Avocado Oil.
The result is a protein-rich, naturally gluten-free, and incredibly tasty appetizer that will impress your guests with its silky texture and delicate flavor.
Ingredients
- 6 organic eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 12 pitted black olives
- 1 organic egg yolk, at room temperature
- 150 ml Benvolio 1938 Organic Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- A pinch of salt
Instructions with Step-by-Step Photos
- Prepare the mayonnaise: In a tall, narrow container, add the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, and salt.
Start blending with an immersion blender, keeping it at the bottom of the container. - Without stopping the blender, slowly pour in the Benvolio Organic Avocado Oil in a thin, steady stream.
The mixture will begin to thicken and emulsify. Continue blending until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
Adjust salt to taste.
- Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and add 3–4 tablespoons of the freshly made avocado mayonnaise.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the egg white halves with the mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Slice the olives — use halves for the spider bodies and thin slices for the legs.
Arrange them on top of each egg to create the spider-eye effect.
A drizzle of extra mayonnaise or a few drops of
Benvolio Organic Avocado Oil
will make this dish even more irresistible!
Chef’s Tip
“The secret to perfect homemade mayonnaise is to use all ingredients at the same temperature and pour the oil very slowly in a thin stream.
Benvolio Organic Avocado Oil not only has a delicate flavor that doesn’t overpower your dish,
but it’s also rich in monounsaturated fats — turning a simple condiment into a true wellness ally.
It’s the ideal choice for a lighter, more nutritious mayonnaise.”
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Absolutely. The “Spider-Eye” eggs can be assembled and stored in the fridge for a few hours. The filling for the pumpkin bites can be made the day before. However, to keep everything perfectly crisp and fragrant, we recommend baking the mummies and pumpkins just before serving.
These recipes are perfect for family fun! Kids will love wrapping the “bandages” around the sausages, decorating the eggs with olive spiders, or mixing the ricotta filling for the pumpkins. Cooking together is one of the best ways to get into the festive spirit.
For healthy, light, and crispy frying, the best choice is an oil with a high smoke point. We recommend Benvolio Peanut Oil or Benvolio Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil. Both maintain stability at high temperatures and ensure perfectly golden, non-greasy results.
Of course! For the mummies, simply replace meat sausages with plant-based ones. The pumpkin bites are already vegetarian. For a vegan alternative to the eggs, try making “little ghosts” by spreading homemade hummus (prepared with Benvolio Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil) on toasted bread and using black sesame seeds to create eyes and a mouth.
Tips for a Spooktacular Halloween Buffet
Beyond the recipes, the success of any Halloween party lies in the details. Here are a few tips to make your buffet truly unforgettable.
The Atmosphere Comes First
Presentation is everything. Use dark serving trays, such as slate or black wood, to make the colors of your dishes stand out. Decorate the table with a few fake cobwebs (without overdoing it), small decorative pumpkins, and candles (placed safely) to create a soft and mysterious glow.
Frightfully Fun Colors
Play with Halloween’s iconic color palette. The orange of pumpkin, the black of olives, the red of ketchup, and the green of chives or avocado are your best allies for a visually cohesive and striking buffet.
“Devilish” Pairings
For kids, serve a “bloody” mocktail by mixing blood orange juice and pomegranate juice. For adults, a full-bodied red wine or a themed cocktail — like a spritz with a splash of green liqueur — will pair perfectly with your savory bites.
Not Just Savory
Balance the buffet with some lighter, fresher options. Homemade oven-baked pumpkin chips or carrot and celery sticks served with hummus (prepared with our Benvolio Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil) will be a welcome and healthy addition to the table.
