Best 5 Egg Penguins Recipes

PENGUINS

Steps:

• Hard boil as many eggs as you would like Penguins.
• Clean a "fat" carrot (first removing the green) and cut about an inch off the carrot from the top.
• Cut a notch (upside-down V,) in front and in back of the carrot . Your carrot now looks like penguin feet.
• After your eggs have cooled, peel the shell off.
• Take a long toothpick and put it into the center of the "feet".
• Slip the cooled hard boiled egg onto the toothpick, wide side down.
• Slip a short toothpick, through the egg. About half way up the egg.
• Cut a "beak" from a leftover piece of carrot
• Make a small nick in the middle of a jumbo pitted black olive and push the carrot (beak) into the olive.
• Place the olive on top of the toothpick, sticking out of the body, he now has a head!
• Get another black pitted olive and cut it in half.
• Place each half onto the "arms" of the short toothpick, penguin flippers!
• They look great in the middle of a plate of Deviled Eggs.
• No two penguins look alike and everyone loves them.
• Get creative, give them a scarf or cut the beak so that it's open".
• (Safety Note) Watch the toothpicks around kids, they will want to eat the penguins.
• (Second Safety Note) Watch the adults too.

EGG PENGUINS

Steps:

• For the penguin heads, attach one olive to the top of each egg with a toothpick.
• For beaks, cut six carrots 1/2 inch from the pointed end; attach the flat side of a pointed piece to the center of each head with half a toothpick.
• For the feet, make a lengthwise cut through the remaining carrots; place flat side down in pairs (trim carrots if necessary). Place a toothpick in each carrot; press an egg on top of each pair.
• For flippers, cut the remaining olives lengthwise into quarters; attach one olive quarter to each side of eggs with half a toothpick. Cover; refrigerate until serving.

THE LILEK PENGUIN

Steps:

• Hard boil the eggs. Drain, set aside to cool then peel.
• BODY: Cut a small slice off the wide end of each egg. (Cut the slice so that the penguin can stand up on its own.).
• FLIPPERS: Slice three olives in quarters lengthwise. Cut a small slit down each side of the "body" of an egg and insert one olive piece on each side.
• CHEST: Cut approximately 1/2" sliver of black olive lengthwise. Make a tiny slit down the middle of the hard boiled egg and carefully insert the olive sliver.
• HEAD: Place one toothpick down the center of the top (narrow end) of each hard boiled egg. Attach the whole olive with the hole in the center of the penguin's face.
• NOSE: cut six small triangular pieces of carrot or bell pepper-large enough so that it will fit snugly in the olive hole and not fall out. Place the carrot or bell pepper piece in the olive hole.
• To serve, arrange the endangered penguins on an irregularly shaped piece of styrofoam.

PEANUT BUTTER PENGUINS

Steps:

• Microwave candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip 1 cookie in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper. Attach 2 candy eyes and a white coating disk for the belly. Add an M&M's mini for beak and 2 regular M&M's for feet. Repeat to dip and decorate all cookies. Let stand until set.

PERKY OLIVE PENGUINS

Steps:

• Cut a slit from the top to bottom of 12 jumbo olives; set aside. In a bowl, combine the next six ingredients; mix well. Fill a small heavy-duty plastic bag with cream cheese mixture. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag; carefully pipe mixture into jumbo olives. Set aside. Cut a small triangle out of each carrot slice; press triangles into small olives for a beak. On a each notched carrot slice, position a jumbo olive so the white chest is lined up with the notch. Place the small olive, hole side down, over the jumbo olive so the beak, chest and feet are aligned. Carefully insert a toothpick through the top of head into body and carrot base. Wrap a pimiento around neck for a scarf.
