Ingredients
Preparation time : 10 minutes - Total time : 25 mins
- 12 large hard-boiled eggs
- 100 g of mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tablespoon of garlic powder
- a big pinch of salt (more or less according to taste)
- a small carrot, peeled and cut into thin slices
- 6 pitted black olives
- a sharp knife
- a straw
- a pastry nozzle
How to do
1. Remove the shell from the 12 hard-boiled eggs.
2. With a sharp knife, cut a very thin layer at the base of the egg. This will allow you to have a flat surface so that the egg sits upright on the plate.
3. Cut off the top of the eggs to about two-thirds.
4. Gently squeeze the base of the egg to loosen the yolk from the white. Squeeze out the yolks by pressing gently. They should come off easily. Keep the lids with their bases.
5. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 12 egg yolks and mash them.
6. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic and salt.
7. Mix everything until you get a smooth consistency.
8. Transfer the mixture to the pastry nozzle.
9. Place the tip of the nozzle into the white of the egg, gently press it down and fill the white with the egg.
10. Put the cover back on the base and press lightly so that it adheres to the base.
11. To make the eyes, press the straw on the olive so that it pierces it. Then gently squeeze the straw. The little bits of olive will come out immediately. Repeat the operation several times.
12. To make the beaks, cut the carrot into thin slices then cut each slice into six parts.
13. Put two small pieces of olives to make the eyes and two pieces of carrot to make the beak.
14. Place the chicks on a platter and garnish with fresh parsley or dill to give the impression that they are in the grass.

Extra tips
- You don't have Dijon mustard? Not serious ! Replace it with 1.5 tablespoons of white vinegar.
- If you have trouble peeling the eggs, try to do it under running tap water. Very fresh eggs do not flake easily. So I always cook a little more hard-boiled eggs so that I don't run out if there is a problem.
- You can also put baking soda in the cooking water so that the shell comes off easily. Check out the trick here.
- You can use ready-made mayonnaise for this recipe. But homemade mayonnaise is really better and easier to make. Check out the recipe here.
- To be sure that your hard-boiled eggs are well cooked, follow the guide here.
- And so that the shell of the eggs does not crack during cooking, add a dash of white vinegar to the cooking water. Check out the trick here.
- If you do not have a pastry nozzle, you can use a Zyploc type bag. Fill it with your mixture and cut one of the bottom corners of the bag. Insert this wedge into the white of the egg and press gently to release the mixture.
- A small teaspoon can also be used to garnish the egg whites.
