These little Easter Deviled Eggs are one of my favorite first birthday food ideas! They are based on a classic deviled eggs recipe, but are put together to look like little hatching chicks! They are so much fun as a gluten free appetizer for Easter brunch, baby shower, first birthday, or just for a fun way to dress up a classic.

How do you make Deviled Eggs?

Deviled eggs are a basic appetizer that everyone should have in their bag of tricks! They are simply a mix of hard boiled egg yolks blended with mayonnaise, mustard and in this recipe, we have added a bit of sweet pickle relish. This is optional, but it adds a bit of vinegary sweetness that is so good!

One important part of making deviled eggs, is making sure that the yolk mixture is well mixed so that it is smooth and creamy. Since we are piping it back into the egg whites, we want to make sure there are no lumps, so they don't get stuck in the frosting tip.

If you have read any of my other posts, you know that I LOVE my immersion blender, so of course I recommend using it. You can also use a hand or stand mixer, or even a classic whisk. Just make sure that whatever you use, it creates a nice, smooth and creamy mixture!

Ingredients

Eggs (you don't say!?)
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Sweet Pickle Juice
2-3 Baby Yellow Bell Pepper- This will be used for the wings
Baby Orange Bell Pepper- We will use this for the beaks

How to Assemble the Deviled Egg Chicks

Place your eggs in a sauce pan with cold water and bring it to a boil. Boil them for 12 minutes, and then pull the eggs from the hot water and place them in a bowl of ice water.

Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs. Cut about a quarter sized piece off of each end of the egg. This will keep the chicks from tipping over, and we will place it on top of the chick like a piece of shell! Check out the picture at the top if that doesn't make sense.😆

Then, cut the eggs in half to make 2 short halves.

Place the yolks in a bowl or food processor and the whites on a separate plate.

To make the filling, use either a food processor (the best technique IMHO for the creamiest, smoothest filling!), a mixer (hand or stand), or a fork to mash them by hand.

Add in the mayo and mustard and pickle juice and blend until smooth. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.

The Easiest and quickest way to create the chicks is by using a large star piping tip and pastry bag. Just cut the tip of the pastry bag and insert the star tip.

Fill the bag with your egg yolk mixture and then twist the end of the bag to keep everything from oozing out the top. Squeeze the bag and insert the tip into the little egg white, "shell". Fill it until it is just a bit higher than the egg white.

Then, add the yellow and orange baby bell pepper triangles, using the orange for the beak and the yellow for the wings. Top the chick with a cut off from when we were leveling the white. That is it!

Arrange them on a platter, maybe serve them with a little of this Bacon Jam! Be ready to delight your guests! For an Easter Brunch decoration, check out these beautiful Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs! ♥️

Get creative, but not creepy!

The "beaks and wings" are made from red and orange peppers that are cut into tiny triangles. So simple! I have to tell you, I initially thought that using capers for their little eyes would be a good idea. Now, I'm not so sure...they are kind of cute, kind of ghost-sticking-his-tongue-out-ish. So...it's an option, choose your own adventure!
