Steps to Make Easter Chick Deviled Eggs
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool eggs in an ice bath, then peel.
- Slice a small section off the bottom of each egg so they stand upright. Then slice across the top 1/3 to create a “hat” and set it aside.
- Gently remove yolks and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spoon or pipe filling back into the egg bases to form little “chick” heads.
- Cut tiny triangles from carrots for beaks and press into filling. Use peppercorns or bits of black olive for eyes.
- Gently place egg “hats” back on top at a tilt to mimic cracked eggshells.
- Chill until ready to serve.
Make Easter Chick Deviled Eggs Perfect
- Use fresh eggs that are a few days old they’re easier to peel.
- For ultra-smooth filling, push yolk mixture through a fine sieve before piping.
- Be careful not to overfill too much yolk and your chicks may topple over!
