Little Egg Easter Chicks To Keep You Entertained
Ingredients
- 8 British Lion eggs
- 3 tbs Greek yoghurt
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ carrot, sliced thinly into rounds
- To Decorate: chives or green peppercorns.
These Easter chicks are a very seasonal — and easy! — way to keep the children/grandchildren amused during the current lockdown.
Actually, if you’re like us you’ve probably been looking for ways to keep yourself amused, too . . .
Method:
- Place eggs into a pan of warm water. Bring to the boil and cook for 7 minutes.
- Drain and cool in a large bowl of cold water. Once cooled, peel and shell.
- Using a sharp knife, take a very thin slice off the bottom of each egg so they sit flat on a plate, then slice off the top third of each egg and carefully scoop out the yolks into a small bowl.
- Using a fork, mix the yolks with the yoghurt and mustard until smooth. Use a teaspoon to spoon the mixture back into the egg whites.
- Add the egg “lids”, then add a beak made from a small triangle of carrot, and eyes made from snipped chives or green peppercorns.
- For the feet, cut the sliced carrot into triangles, then cut out smaller triangles from the rounded edge to make claws, and arrange these under the base of the egg.
