Hatching Chicks Deviled Eggs Recipe 455

Steps:

• Slice through the top 1/3 of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon and transfer to a bowl.
• Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped with the egg yolk mixture. Pipe egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites creating the 'chick', ensuring there is enough filling to add 'eyes' and a 'beak.'
• Slice small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 'beaks'. Add a 'beak' to each 'chick'.
• Slice olive pieces into small squares to be used as 'eyes.' Add 2 'eyes' to each 'chick.' Place the egg tops onto each 'chick' to look like a chick peaking out of the egg.

Steps:

• Boil eggs; cool under cold tap water or in ice water until they can be handled. Then peel, rinse, and dry eggs. While eggs are boiling, cut 12 feet and 12 small triangles for beaks from carrot chips. Feet may be left off, if desired. Cut a thin slice from the large end (bottom) of each egg so it will sit flat. Cut off the top third from each egg. Carefully remove the yolks and place in a small mixing bowl along with about 1/3 cup mayo, salt and pepper to taste, and sugar, if desired. Beat with mixer until smooth and creamy, add a dab more mayo if needed to blend. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the egg white bottoms. (I piped it from a plastic ziptop bag.) Replace the tops. Carefully position 2 peppercorns (or tiny pieces of black olives, or capers) for eyes (I used long tweezers to do this). Position 2 triangles, slightly separated, for the beaks. Place feet in front of chicks. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each egg so it sits flat. Cut the top third from each egg. Carefully remove yolks and place in a small bowl; mash with a fork. Add cheese, salad dressing, mustard and pepper; stir until well blended. Spoon into the egg white bottoms; replace tops., Cut 12 feet and 12 small triangles for beaks from carrot chips. Gently press the capers into the filling for eyes; add beaks. Insert a dill sprig in top of eggs for tuft of feathers. Place feet in front of chicks. Refrigerate until serving.
