Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 12 large eggs hard boiled and peeled
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

For Decoration:

  • 1 small carrot peeled
  • 6 black olives

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

  • Begin by hard boiling your eggs. Place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for about 12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
  • Once the eggs are peeled, cut them in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Fill the halved egg whites with the yolk mixture, creating a little mound to resemble a chick’s body.
  • To create the chick’s face, cut the small carrot into tiny triangles for the beaks. Slice the black olives into rounds for the eyes, and then cut small pieces to create the pupils. Place the carrot beak and olive eyes on each deviled egg to complete the look.
  • Arrange your Deviled Egg Chicks on a serving platter and watch as they steal the show! Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
