For the Chick Filling

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place large eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool for easy peeling.
- Once cooled, gently tap the eggs against a hard surface and peel off the shell. Take your time to keep the whites intact for filling.
- Carefully slice off the tops of the peeled eggs to create a little 'hat.' Scoop out the yolks into a bowl and mash with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the hollow egg whites with the yolk mixture, creating a nice mound.
- Insert small carrot pieces at the top for beaks and place black olive slices for eyes, arranging them to resemble cute chick faces.
- Chill the decorated eggs on a platter and serve them as a delightful and whimsical appetizer.
Notes
Engage kids in the decorating process for a fun family activity. Assemble the eggs right before serving for the best appearance.
