Chick deviled eggs are a cute and easy Easter appetizer made with hard-boiled eggs, a creamy yolk filling, and simple decorations that make each egg look like a little hatching chick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium carrot, cut into small triangles for beaks and feet
  • 2 black olives or a few peppercorns, cut into tiny pieces for eyes
  • Water, for boiling eggs
  • Ice, for ice bath

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
  2. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, then remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely.
  4. Peel the eggs carefully and dry them with a paper towel.
  5. Slice a small zigzag cap from the top of each egg to create the cracked shell look.
  6. Remove the yolks gently and place them in a bowl.
  7. Mash the yolks until smooth, then mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
  8. Spoon or pipe the filling into the bottom half of each egg white, slightly overfilling to form the chick body.
  9. Place the zigzag egg white tops back on at a slight angle so the chicks look like they are hatching.
  10. Add tiny carrot triangles for beaks and small olive or peppercorn pieces for eyes.
  11. Chill until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

Notes

  • Slightly older eggs are easier to peel than very fresh eggs.
  • Do not overcook the eggs or the yolks may develop a green ring.
  • For extra smooth filling, press the yolks through a sieve before mixing.
  • If the filling is too runny, add more mashed yolk to thicken it.
  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and assemble the eggs shortly before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
