Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Hard-Boiled Eggs: Use large eggs for easy peeling and ample filling space.
• Mayonnaise: A good quality mayo adds creaminess I prefer using organic for its fresh flavor.
• Dijon Mustard: This brings a tangy kick feel free to adjust based on your taste preference.
• Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that enhance the flavors don’t skimp on them
• Paprika: For garnishing smoked paprika adds an irresistible depth of flavor.
• Olives: Use black olives for eyes they add character to your chick creations.
• Carrot Sticks: Cut into small triangles for beaks they add a crunchy texture.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Boil the Eggs: Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and let simmer for 9-12 minutes until fully cooked.

Cool Down: After boiling, transfer the eggs into an ice bath or run under cold water until cool enough to handle. This step makes peeling easier.

Peel and Halve: Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel under running water if needed. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a bowl.

Create the Filling: Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika until creamy and well-blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Assemble Your Chicks: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Use your imagination to shape them like chicks don’t forget those olive eyes

Add Final Touches: Stick small carrot triangles into each chick as beaks. Garnish with additional paprika if desired for extra flair.

And there you have it Your delightful Deviled Egg Chicks are ready to steal the show at your next gathering

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To achieve egg perfection, boil your eggs for exactly 10-12 minutes to ensure they’re hard-boiled but not overcooked, which prevents that dreaded green ring around the yolk.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to customize your Deviled Egg Chicks with unique flavors Consider adding avocado for creaminess or a dash of sriracha for heat your guests will love the surprises.

Storing & Reheating

Store your Deviled Egg Chicks in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last up to three days but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor and texture.
