Bloodshot Eggs Recipes

BLOODSHOT EGGS

Steps:

• Place 4 eggs in a wide pot; cover with cold water by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water to cool. Lightly tap the eggs against the counter to crack all over. Fill 2 tall, wide glasses three-quarters of the way with warm water. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar and a few drops of red food coloring to each, then add 2 eggs to each glass. Refrigerate 4 hours, then drain and peel the eggs.

PICKLED RED BEET EGGS

Steps:

• Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher.
• Pour sugar and vinegar into the saucepan with the beet liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer 15 minutes.
• Pour the beet juice mixture over the beets, eggs, and onions. Seal the bowl or pitcher and refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least one to 3 days; the longer they are allowed to sit the better they will taste.

BLOODSHOT PEANUT BUTTER EYEBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-capacity) muffin pans with cupcake papers; set aside.
• In a large bowl, use a hand held electric mixer to beat together cake mix, chocolate milk, oil, and eggs on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl with a rubber spatula and beat for 1 minute more on medium speed.
• Use a ladle to fill each lined cupcake cup 2/3 full. Use oven mitts to place cupcakes in preheated oven and bake for 21 to 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean with no wet batter.
• Use oven mitts to remove from oven and let cool completely before filling and frosting, about 30 minutes.
• For filling combine pudding mix, milk, and peanut butter in a bowl. Whisk for 2 minutes until smooth and thickened. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spoon filling into a pastry bag fitted with a medium plain tip. Fill cupcakes by inserting tip into tops of cupcakes and squeezing a couple of tablespoons of filling into each. Spread 2 tablespoons frosting on each cupcake top.
• Using red gel frosting, draw squiggly lines on the frosted cupcakes so that they look like veins. Place a plastic eyeball in the center of each cupcake.

BLOODSHOT BUCKEYES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl, cream the peanut butter, butter and salt to combine. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and combine until smooth.
• Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon to make thirty-five 1 1/2-inch portions, then use your hands to roll into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a heat-proof bowl set over but not touching simmering water, melt the white melting wafers over medium heat. Once the peanut butter balls are firm, dunk them in the melted wafers to coat completely. Use a fork to lift from the bottom, let the excess coating drip off and set back on the prepared baking sheet. Place an eyeball in the center of the ball and repeat the process with the remaining balls.
• Let sit until the white coating is set, about 15 minutes.

SPICY DEVILED EGGS (AKA: BLOOD SHOT EYES)

Steps:

• Using a spoon, remove yolks from whites of eggs carefully. place whites onto serving platter and set aside.
• Place the yolks in a small bowl. Mix in ham (make sure it is finely chopped), cream cheese, mayo, & mustard. Season with cayenne, paprika, and salt. Add enough green food coloring to get a good green color. Mix well. (NOTE: Begin with 1 Tbsp of mayo, then after everything is mixes, add more if needed to get the right consistency).
• Fill a pastry bag with a large star tip with the yolk mixture. (or use the corner of a filled Ziploc bag). Fill just the hole of the whites with the yolk mixture. (do not cover the pointed end of the whites). Place the olive halves (cut side up) into the center of the yolks, pushing down gently to set the eyes inches.
• place some hot sauce in the tip of a plastic sandwich bag. Cut off a very tine portion of the tip of the bag so the hot sauce will come out like ink on a pen. (NOTE: You could also try using toothpicks to 'drag' a wiggly line for veins).
• Holding the bag like a pastry bag, begin where the yolk filling is close to the olive and gently squeeze out 3-4 squiggly lines, out towards the tip of the whites. (to resemble blood shot eyes). Repeat for remaining deviled eggs. If you don't have pimentos, you can place a drop of hot sauce in the center of the olive.

BLOODSHOT ONE EYE

Steps:

• Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut a hole in the center of each piece of bread. Swirl 1 tablespoon of butter in a hot, nonstick skillet. Add the bread and the cut-outs to the pan to lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
• Add a small piece of butter to each hole. Lay down strips of pepper to resemble a "bloodshot" eye. Crack an egg into each hole. Season with salt and pepper.
• Let it cook until set, about 1 minute. Carefully turn the bread slice and the round cutouts and cook on the other side for another minute. Serve bloodshot side up with the cut-out toast for dipping.
