With Easter weekend upon us again (oh, how time flies!), I’m busy cooking up a whole bunch of Easter-themed recipes. Here’s a cute and quick recipe that is sure to please the small children in your life.

Hatching Chicks Breakfast

Ingredients

• 6 fresh chicken eggs, hard boiled
• 2-3Tbsp of homemade mayonnaise
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• 12 pepper corns
• 1 Carrot

Cut open the egg in a zig-zag form about 1/3 from the top of the egg. Remove yolks and add to a bowl with the mayonnaise. Mix together yolks, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Stuff egg whites with yolk mixture and place top half of egg white on top. Place 2 pepper corns in the yolk mixture in the place of eyes. Chop the carrot into thin slices. Cut 2 slices of carrot into the shape of webbed feet (see image for a visual) and cut another slice into the shape of a beak. Repeat for all 6 eggs.

Tip

 Begin cutting open the eggs when they are completely cool. It makes cutting them in a specific shape easier than when they are warm.
