Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 medium Radish
- 12 pieces Black peppercorns
- 6 stems Chives
- 1 slice Cheese slice
Instructions
Place the 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and fill it with enough water to fully submerge the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes, then peel the shells under cold running water.
Slice a small piece off the bottom of each egg to create a flat base so they sit upright without rolling.
Cut 12 thin slices from the radish to make ears. Use the tip of a paring knife to make two small slits at the top of each egg and insert a radish slice into each slit for the ears.
Use two black peppercorns for each egg to create eyes. Gently press them into the egg to secure.
Cut the chives into 3-inch pieces. Make a small hole near the base of each egg and insert the chive to create a tail.
Cut small triangles or rectangles from the cheese slice to mimic pieces of cheese. Arrange them on a serving plate alongside the egg mice as a playful decoration.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. These Hard Boiled Egg Mice are best served chilled.
