Decorated Eggs- Adorable Chick Deviled Eggs

Start with a plain white egg, peeled…

Last year, when I told my 9-year-old son we were going to decorate eggs, he got excited.  He started plotting and planning what he would do with crayons, markers, and food coloring.  When I began to peel the plain white boiled eggs, he was visibly surprised.  “Mommy, have you forgotten something?” he asked, his tone edged with disappointment.

I gently removed the yolks then mashed them with some mayonaise and a little mustard until smooth.

As I carefully cut a zig-zag pattern around the edge of each egg, he quietly watched.

I used a pastry bag with the round tip to re-apply the yolk mixture in the egg, piping more than the original amount.

I added a sliver of carrot

Plus two small capers for eyes

Or a sliver of baby gherkin pickles (for even bigger eyes) and suddenly decorating eggs has nothing to do with food coloring.

Max decided he needed to do a little of his own decorating.

And, of course, his designs had to involve boats or fishing.
