Deviled Egg Chicks
Deviled Egg Chicks transform classic deviled eggs into a playful presentation with creamy, seasoned yolk filling piped back into egg whites, topped with olive eyes and carrot beaks shaped into chick figures. This recipe balances smooth, tangy filling with mild spices and provides a festive dish for gatherings.
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.
