Deviled Egg Chicks

For easy portability, put the finished deviled chick eggs back into the egg container and then arrange on a platter once you reach your destination so they don’t slide around.

How Long to Boil Eggs for Deviled Eggs

Boiling eggs sounds like an easy task, but there are a few tricks to make perfect hard-boiled eggs and even easier to peel (you can also use Instant Pot Boiled Eggs for this recipe).

First, don’t overcrowd the pot with too many eggs and cover the eggs with about a half inch of water over the tops.
Bring the water to a boil and cover and remove from heat.
Allow the eggs to continue to cook in the water another 15 to 17 minutes if you are using larger eggs.
Then, simply remove the eggs and put them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. You can also run them under cold water about 5 minutes.

How to Make Deviled Egg Chicks

This Easter chick deviled eggs recipe is not only easy to put together, but it’s also a fun family project! Get creative with different food coloring colors and see what you come up with!

To Cut The Eggs: Use a small knife to cut zig zag patterns. We simply poke the tip of a paring knife into the egg. It will easily come apart in two separate pieces.
To Color The Eggs: You can color the eggs either before or after cutting. Simply place the whites in a bowl with a bit of food coloring and let them sit until they reach desired color. If you color before cutting and let them sit in the food coloring a long time, the yolks can discolor.
Filling: We use a bit less mayo here than our usual deviled eggs to make it sturdy enough to hold the top shell. If your yolks are a pale yellow, a few drops of food coloring will brighten them up. Place filling in a sandwich bag and snip off the corner to fill.
Decorating: Cut a small triangle shape from a carrot to look like a beak. The eyes can be made from seeds (like chia or hemp), bits of black olive or dabs of black food coloring. We love to serve these guys on shredded lettuce to look like “Easter Grass”.

Keep refrigerated until ready to serve! Bring on spring with these adorable baby chick deviled eggs!
