Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 small carrot, peeled and sliced into rings
- 6 black olives
What You Need:
- Sharp knife
- Plastic straw
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the hard-boiled eggs. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off a very thin layer from the base of the egg to give it a flat surface to stand on a platter. Then, cut off a generous top third of the egg. Gently squeeze around the egg base to loosen the yolk and it should pop right out. Keep the lids paired with their bases.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, mash 12 cooked yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Mash everything together until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a ziplock bag or pastry bag and pipe it generously into the egg bases. Place the top third of the eggs back over the base and press down slightly to adhere.
-
Now it’s time to add the chick’s features! For the eyes, use a plastic straw to gently poke through an olive several times. Then, squeeze down the straw and the little circles of olives will pop right out. For the beaks, thinly slice a few rings of carrot and cut each ring into sixths. Insert two olive spots for eyes and two carrot wedges for the beak.
-
Place the deviled egg chicks on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or dill to give them that “free range” feel.
Now, enjoy your adorable and delicious Easter Chick Deviled Eggs! They are sure to be a hit at any Easter gathering. Have fun and let these little chicks bring a smile to your face!
