Method
Boil and chill the eggs
- Place the large eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs stand 12 minutes.
- Chill the eggs in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise.
Make the Bloody Mary filling
- Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, tomato paste, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, celery salt, and vodka until smooth. If skipping vodka, mash with the remaining ingredients until uniform.
- Season the filling with black pepper to taste. Mix again briefly to distribute the seasoning.
Fill and garnish
- Pipe the filling into the egg whites. Fill each half so the center is mounded.
- Top each with a celery leaf, a slice of pickled okra or olives, and a pinch of Old Bay. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to plate.
Notes
For the cleanest piping, mash yolks until completely smooth before filling the whites. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; garnish is best added right before serving. Freeze is not recommended because the whites and filling texture can change. For a lower-fat option, use light mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise.
