Ingredients
- Hard-boiled eggs (amount depending on servings)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Raisins (for eyes)
- Baby carrots (for beaks and feet)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Eggs
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs. Slice a small bit off the bottom of each egg to allow them to stand up securely.
- Cut off the top of each egg and carefully remove the yolks, ensuring the egg whites stay intact.
2. Make the Filling
- Mash the egg yolks in a bowl and mix with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
- Transfer the yolk mixture into a plastic bag and snip off a small corner to create a piping bag for easy filling.
3. Assemble the Chicks
- Pipe the yolk mixture into the base of each egg white.
- Place the top of the egg back on to form the chick’s “head.”
4. Add the Details
- For eyes, place a raisin on each chick’s face.
- Cut small pieces of baby carrots for the beaks and, if desired, small pieces for the feet. Attach them to the egg with a little more yolk mixture if needed.
5. Serve
- Arrange the deviled egg chicks on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Vegetarian Twist: Swap raisins for olives for a different look for the eyes.
- Spicy Kick: Add a little sriracha or hot sauce to the yolk mixture for a spicier version.
- Cheese Lovers: Top the yolk mixture with grated cheese for extra flavor.
