Let’s Make it together

Boil the Eggs: Start by placing eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes before cooling in ice water.

Prepare the Filling: Once cool, peel the eggs gently under running water. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. The whites should remain intact for that cute chick shape.

Create Chick Mixture: Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning based on your preference I like mine tangy

Fill the Egg Whites: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each egg white half with yolk mixture until overflowing slightly it’s part of their charm

Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle paprika over filled eggs generously. Place two pieces of olive on top of each filled egg half as eyes to create your adorable chicks

Serve and Enjoy : Arrange your Deviled Egg Chicks on a platter with some fresh herbs or lettuce beneath them for an extra touch of elegance. Watch as they disappear in moments

Start by boiling the eggs for about 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. Cool them in ice water before peeling to ensure easy removal of the shells.
