# What You'll Need:
→ Eggs
01 - 12 large eggs
→ Filling
02 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
04 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Decoration
07 - 24 whole black peppercorns for eyes
08 - 1 medium carrot for beaks and feet
09 - Fresh chives or parsley for garnish, optional
# How To Make It:
01 - Place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes.
02 - Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely, about 5 minutes.
03 - Gently peel the eggs and pat dry.
04 - For each egg, slice a small portion off the bottom so the egg stands upright. Slice off the top third of the egg horizontally to create a cap.
05 - Carefully remove yolks and transfer to a bowl. Place egg whites on a serving tray.
06 - Mash yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
07 - Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the bottom egg whites with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly to form the chicks head.
08 - Place the egg white caps back on at a jaunty angle to resemble a chick hatching.
09 - Cut tiny triangles from the carrot for beaks, and small slivers for feet. Gently press the beaks and feet into the yolk mixture.
10 - Add two black peppercorns for eyes on each chick.
11 - Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve chilled.
