Deviled Egg Bunnies Recipes

THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

BUNNY DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a large pot in a single layer. Cover with water and add at least 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring just to a boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Shut off the heat, cover the pot and let stand for 10 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Shock the eggs in the ice water and allow to cool completely.
• Peel the eggs and slice each in half lengthwise. Separate the yolks into a large bowl and place the egg whites in an airtight container with a lid.
• Roughly mash the yolks. Stir in the mustard, maple syrup, capers and vinegar until thoroughly combined. Stir in the mayonnaise to the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the yolk mixture and egg whites until ready to serve.
• Slice the prosciutto into 24 small pieces and roll each one up. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and, working in batches, fry the prosciutto until crispy, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, drain the prosciutto on a paper towel-lined plate.
• When ready to assemble your bunnies, place the egg white halves on a platter lined with chives. Place the yolk mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the filling into the center of each egg white. Snip additional chives and insert into the sides of each egg yolk to create whiskers. Insert two pieces of prosciutto into the top of the egg yolks for the ears. Place a caper in the middle of each egg yolk to make the nose. If you want to add eyes as well, simply add two pinches of black pepper to each egg, or two poppy seeds or black sesame seeds.

EASTER CHICK DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Slice through the top 1/3 of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon and transfer to a bowl.
• Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped with the egg yolk mixture. Pipe egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites creating the 'chick', ensuring there is enough filling to add 'eyes' and a 'beak.'
• Slice small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 'beaks'. Add a 'beak' to each 'chick'.
• Slice olive pieces into small squares to be used as 'eyes.' Add 2 'eyes' to each 'chick.' Place the egg tops onto each 'chick' to look like a chick peaking out of the egg.

BUNNY DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Cook eggs about 10 minutes. Run cold water over to cool down quickly.
• Peel hard boiled eggs.
• Halve each egg lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a medium bowl, reserving the egg whites.
• Mash the yolks and add mayonnaise, mustard and cayenne; season with salt and black pepper.
• Fill yolk mixture into a small sandwich bag, cutting a small opening in the corner of the baggie. Gently squeeze the bag to pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
• Use the capers for the eyes and mouth.
• Cut the carrots and celery to make whiskers and ears(you can interchange them).

CLASSIC DEVILLED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a pan of just simmering water and cook for 10 mins. Turn off the heat, and leave the eggs to rest in the hot water for 2 mins. Drain, then transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water and leave to cool. Peel the eggs and slice in half, then scoop the yolks out into a bowl with the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, spring onions, celery salt and cayenne pepper. Mash everything together until smooth, then spoon into a piping bag fitted with a plain round nozzle.
• Pipe the mixture into the hollowed-out eggs, or carefully spoon into the middles using a small spoon. Sprinkle over some chives, if using, then serve.
