Method

  1. Cut off the top third of each egg, making sure to include some of the yolk in the slice.

  2. Use a spoon to carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom part of the egg and transfer it to a bowl.

  3. In the bowl with the egg yolks, mix in mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper.

  4. If using a piping bag, fill it with the egg yolk mixture. If using a plastic bag, cut off one corner and use it as a piping bag.

  5. Pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites, creating the shape of a chick. Make sure to leave enough filling exposed at the top to add eyes and a beak.

  6. To make the beaks, slice small wedges out of carrot rounds. Attach a beak to each chick.

  7. Cut olive pieces into small squares to use as eyes. Add two eyes to each chick.

  8. Place the tops of the eggs onto each chick, giving the impression that the chicks are peeking out of the eggs.

  9. Adjust the ingredients in the filling according to taste or desired consistency. Adding more pickle and horseradish is a common preference.

  10. It is easier to break up the yolk slightly before removing it, as this helps prevent tearing of the egg white.
