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.

HATCHING CHICKS DEVILED EGGS RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by msippigrl
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Boil eggs; cool under cold tap water or in ice water until they can be handled. Then peel, rinse, and dry eggs. While eggs are boiling, cut 12 feet and 12 small triangles for beaks from carrot chips. Feet may be left off, if desired. Cut a thin slice from the large end (bottom) of each egg so it will sit flat. Cut off the top third from each egg. Carefully remove the yolks and place in a small mixing bowl along with about 1/3 cup mayo, salt and pepper to taste, and sugar, if desired. Beat with mixer until smooth and creamy, add a dab more mayo if needed to blend. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the egg white bottoms. (I piped it from a plastic ziptop bag.) Replace the tops. Carefully position 2 peppercorns (or tiny pieces of black olives, or capers) for eyes (I used long tweezers to do this). Position 2 triangles, slightly separated, for the beaks. Place feet in front of chicks. Refrigerate until serving.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Eggs: For the best results, use fresh eggs that are no more than a week old.
- Hard-Boil the Eggs Properly: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Peel the Eggs Carefully: Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them under cold running water. This will help to prevent the shells from sticking to the eggs.
- Make a Smooth Yolk Mixture: Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the yolks until they are smooth and creamy. Season the yolks with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Pipe the Yolk Mixture: Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves, creating a "chick" shape.
- Add the Decorations: Use edible markers or food coloring to draw eyes and beaks on the chicks. You can also add other decorations, such as carrot noses or celery leaves, to make the chicks more festive.
Conclusion:
These Hatching Chicks Deviled Eggs are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for Easter or any other spring celebration. They are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. With a little creativity, you can make these chicks as unique and adorable as you like. So get creative and have fun!
