A very cute way to present some great tasting deviled eggs. Add green chiles if you like them spicy!
Ingredients
  • 6 hardboiled eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard (1 single serve packet)
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 carrot stick
  • ¼ cup shredded Jack and Cheddar cheese
  • 2 large pitted black olives
  • Shredded lettuce
  • optional: 2 tbsp diced green chiles
Instructions
  1. Peel and rinse eggs and set aside. If you want them to stand up on a plate, cut a small disk off the small end of each egg to give it a flat surface.
  2. Pulse the cheese in a food processor to get finer shreds and pour into a small bowl.
  3. Using a small, sharp knife, ⅓ of the distance from the fat end of the egg, cut a shallow zig zag pattern to separate each egg into 2 pieces.
  4. Scoop the yolks out into a small bowl.
  5. With a fork, thoroughly mash the egg yolks, then stir in the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard and salt until well-blended.
  6. If you want green chiles in them, scoop out ¼ cup of the yolk mixture into a separate bowl and stir in the green chiles. (optional)
  7. To make the eyes, cut the olives in half and use a ¼' diameter straw to poke out eyes. You may have to blow into the other end of the straw to get each eye out of the straw.
  8. To make the beaks, cut the carrot into ⅛" "coins" then cut them into 4 pie slices.
  9. To assemble eggs:
  10. If using green chiles, scoop the yolk/chile mixture into the hollow of each egg, evenly distributing the mixture. It will sit under the regular yolk mixture so the chile part will be a surprise when you bite into it!
  11. Scoop the basic yolk mixture onto each egg, forming a rounded shape.
  12. Roll in the shredded cheese, then add the eyes and beak. A pair of tweezers might help you exactly place the eyes and beak.
  13. Place the "hat" on each (the other end of the egg white) and arrange on a plate of shredded lettuce.
