Let’s Make it together

Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes until hard-boiled.

Cool Down the Eggs: Once boiled, transfer eggs into an ice bath for about 5 minutes. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.

Peel and Halve Eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel under running water if necessary. Slice them in half lengthwise.

Prepare the Filling: Scoop out yolks into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash until silky smooth with no lumps.

Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each egg white half. Aim for that perfect mound resembling a chick body

Create Chick Features: Use olives or carrots for eyes, placing them strategically on top of each filled egg. Get creative with their expressions

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by boiling your eggs properly to achieve the perfect hard boil. Once cooled, peel them carefully, as you want to maintain their shape for the chick design.

Add Your Touch

Consider adding some diced pickles or a hint of mustard to the yolk mixture for an extra zing. You can also experiment with different herbs, like dill or chives, to elevate the flavor.
