Deviled Egg Chicks
Description
This recipe begins by carefully slicing peeled hard-boiled eggs to create a stable base and removable top. The yolks are mashed with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. The mixture is piped back into the egg whites, preserving the shape.
Each egg is assembled into a chick by reattaching the top and adding olive slices for eyes and carrot shapes for beaks. This decorative approach adds visual interest and a mild smoky and savory flavor from the paprika and mustard, complementing the creamy filling.
These whimsical deviled eggs are suitable for appetizer plates or themed parties, and their manageable size makes them easy to serve. Placing them on lettuce leaves adds a fresh contrast and enhances presentation.
Ingredients
- 12 egg hard boiled and peeled, large
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 carrot peeled, small
- 6 black olives
Instructions
- Start by peeling the hard-boiled eggs.
- After that, using a sharp knife, slice a thin layer from the base of the egg to give it a flat surface to stand on.
- Next, slice off about a third of the egg from the top and squeeze out gently to loosen the yolk to get it out. Add the yolks to a large bowl. Remember to keep the lids paired with their bases.
- Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash together until smooth.
- Transfer mixture to Ziploc or pastry bag and pipe it generously back into the egg bases.
- Place the tops back on and slightly press them.
- Next, poke through an olive with a plastic straw and then gently squeeze down the straw to get little circles, use them for the eyes.
- For the beaks, cut the carrot into a few thin rounds and thinly slice them into sixths.
- Set chicks on a platter covered with lettuce leaves and garnish with fresh herbs.
