Deviled eggs with beetroot hummus and Fragata black Hojiblanca black olives

Fragata Stoneless Olives

Serve your Halloween guests a super spooky treat that’s frightfully tasty too! These delicious deviled eggs are made with beetroot hummus and Fragata Black Hojiblanca Olives. Halloween can be a time packed with sweet and sugary foods, from the trick or treat candy to monster shaped cakes and more. So it’s great to have savoury food to put on the Halloween party table that packs a punch on the scare rating. The beetroot hummus on its own creates a striking table talker, thanks to its glorious colour. Of course, it also tastes great with crudites, cheese, pita bread and the like. But the devilled eggs take the Halloween theme to a whole new level, topping them with spiders made from Fragata black olives. The spider design is simple to make but frighteningly effective! An olive half makes the perfect body, whilst slices of olives create the legs. If you’re feeling inspired and creative, you could even try making a black olive bat design. (Go on, we dare you!) Not only do these designs look the part, but they’re packed with incredible flavour too. Olives and eggs are a faultless combination. The addition of the beetroot hummus, with its contrasting textures and flavour, creates something that both grown ups and kids will adore.
