Steps:
- In a 2-quart saucepan, place the eggs in a single layer. Add enough cold water until it is at least 1 inch above the eggs. Heat uncovered to boiling over high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover with lid; let stand 15 minutes.
- Immediately pour off the hot water from the eggs, then run cool water over them in the saucepan until completely cool.
- Tap each egg lightly on the kitchen counter to crackle the shell. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel starting at the large end. If the shell is hard to peel, hold egg under cold water while peeling.

Steps:
- Slice through the top 1/3 of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon and transfer to a bowl.
- Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped with the egg yolk mixture. Pipe egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites creating the 'chick', ensuring there is enough filling to add 'eyes' and a 'beak.'
- Slice small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 'beaks'. Add a 'beak' to each 'chick'.
- Slice olive pieces into small squares to be used as 'eyes.' Add 2 'eyes' to each 'chick.' Place the egg tops onto each 'chick' to look like a chick peaking out of the egg.

EASTER HARD BOILED EGGS
A Gruszecki tradition and now ours, is that each person gets a colored egg at the beginning of the meal, right after "grace". Each person uses his/her egg to tap on everyone else at the table, while wishing them a Happy Easter. Part of the trick is to be the last one with an egg not crushed. After you smack eggs with everyone at the table, the egg gets peeled and eaten. The following are a few hints that will help you cook the best hardboiled eggs: The fresher the egg, the harder it will be to peal it. You should purchase your eggs 2 weeks before you'll be cooking them in order to get them to peal easy. And, the way to get the yolk to be in the center of the egg after it's boiled, is to store them on their side. This relieves the pressure on the membrane within the egg that holds it suspended. The green coloring on the outside of the yolk is caused by cooking them too long. Cooking by the directions below will eliminate that.

Steps:
- Place the eggs in a pot with enough cold salted water to cover.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 5 minutes only, then take off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pot, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- You'll get perfect hard boiled eggs using this method, without the outside of the yolk turning green.
- Drain the water out and either run cold water in or use ice cubes.
- If you don't cool them off quickly enough, they will develop a green skin between the yolk and the white.
- Peel the eggs, quarter and plate them.
- You can make these eggs a day or 2 ahead of Easter.
- If you wish to dye them, purchase "Paas" dyes or another edible dye version and follow the package directions.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs are easier to peel and have a better flavor.
- Bring the eggs to room temperature before boiling: This helps prevent the eggs from cracking when they are added to the boiling water.
- Gently place the eggs in the boiling water: Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the boiling water to prevent them from cracking.
- Do not overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly. For hard-boiled eggs, cook them for 10-12 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath: This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
- Peel the eggs under cold water: This will help loosen the shells and make them easier to remove.
- Be creative with your decorations: You can use a variety of items to decorate your Easter eggs, such as food coloring, paint, stickers, and glitter.
- Serve the eggs immediately or store them in the refrigerator: Hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Conclusion:
Decorating Easter eggs is a fun and easy way to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and unique eggs that will be sure to impress everyone. So gather your supplies and get started today!
