1 Medium sized pot
1 mixing bowl
1 Whisk, hand mixer or immersion blender
1 Piping bag (for cake decorating, etc.) If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a gallon sized ziploc bag.
1 large Star Tip See Notes in the Article above for specifics.
1 Coupler for tip
1 Serving Platter
- 6 Large or extra large eggs
- 3 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard (to make the chicks extra yellow! :)
- 1 teaspoon Sweet pickle juice
- dash Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Yellow baby bell pepper
- 2 Orange baby bell pepper
Fill pot halfway with water and bring to a boil on the stovetop.
Once water begins to boil reduce heat slightly and carefully add eggs to water.
Gently Boil eggs for 10 minutes.
Remove eggs and place them in a bowl filled with ice water.
While they are cooling, prepare the piping bag and cut the peppers into tiny triangles.
Once they are cooled, gently peel the eggs.
Cut them in half around the middle so that they will stand upright rather than lay on their sides like traditional deviled eggs.
Cut a small slice off of each end, to make a flat spot so the white will stand upright. Save the little cutoffs to use as the top of the hatching chick.
Scoop out the yolks and place in a mixing bowl.
Add the Mayo, mustard and relish, as well as a dash of salt and pepper.
Use a hand mixer, or immersion blender, blend until creamy and there are no lumps.
How to Assemble the Chicks
Attach the tip to the piping bag and then fill the bag with egg yolk, mayo, mustard, relish mixture.
Twist the end of the piping bag, so that no yolk mixture can ooze out of the top of the bag.
Hold twisted end of bag in one hand and squeeze, while the other hand guides the tip into the egg white and fills the white in a circular motion.
Fill until filling is about an inch taller than the white.
Add a little orange beak and little yellow wings, and top with one of the small pieces of egg white that you cut off earlier, for the "shell".
Serve and Enjoy! :)
