Description
Peepin’ Chickies Deviled Eggs are a delightful Easter treat, featuring deviled eggs decorated to look like little chicks, perfect for festive gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Yellow food coloring (optional)
- Black olives (for decoration)
- Carrot sticks (for decoration)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
- After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. If desired, add a few drops of yellow food coloring to achieve a cheerful yellow hue.
- Mash the yolk mixture with a fork until smooth and well combined. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
- To create the ‘chick’ look, cut small pieces of black olives for eyes and use carrot sticks for beaks. Place them on the yolk filling to resemble little chicks.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These deviled eggs are best enjoyed the same day.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the yolk mixture for extra flavor.
- You can also substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
