These adorable mini deviled eggs feature a creamy filling with a playful chick design, making them perfect for parties and casual gatherings. Quick and easy to prepare, they are a crowd-pleaser loved by both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and cut into tiny triangles for beaks
  • Black sesame seeds or black peppercorns for eyes
  • Fresh chives or green onion, finely sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  4. Gently crack shells all over and peel eggs under running water if desired. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy with a spreadable texture.
  6. Fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag, mounding it up for a satisfying bite.
  7. Cut small triangles from the peeled carrot to make beaks and press one into the filling of each egg.
  8. Use black sesame seeds or black peppercorns for eyes, pressing them gently to stick.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped chives around the chicks for a feathery effect.
  10. Place the deviled egg chicks on a platter and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld and filling set slightly.
  11. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

If the filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or more mayonnaise. If too thin, add more cream cheese to thicken. Peel eggs under running water to avoid damaging whites. Use tweezers or the back of a small spoon to place sesame seeds or peppercorns precisely for eyes. Prepare filling while eggs cool to save time. Store covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days. Assemble just before serving if prepping ahead to avoid sogginess.
