Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs – hard-boiled and peeled
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise – for creamy texture
- 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard – adds tangy depth
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder – enhances flavor
- 1/8 tsp salt – to balance taste
- 1 small carrot – sliced for chick beaks
- 6 black olives – used for eyes
- Fresh parsley or dill – for garnish and presentation
Instructions
- Boil and peel 12 large eggs. Slice a thin layer from the bottom of each egg so they stand upright, then cut off the top third of each egg.
- Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Transfer the filling to a piping or zip-top bag. Pipe the mixture into the egg bases to form the chick bodies.
- Place the top third of each egg back on as a ‘hat.’
- Cut small triangles from the carrot slices for beaks and tiny olive circles for eyes (a straw works well for cutting). Insert them gently into the filling.
- Arrange the deviled egg chicks on a platter with fresh parsley or dill to resemble grass. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
- Cool boiled eggs in ice water immediately to prevent cracking.
- Substitute Dijon mustard with white wine vinegar if needed.
- Prepare the filling a day ahead for convenience and assemble before serving.
- To make spicy deviled eggs, add a pinch of cayenne or hot sauce.
