Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces hard-boiled eggs
- 2 pieces baby carrots
- 12 pieces sliced olives
- 6 stalks chives
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 pieces radishes
Instructions
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut a thin slice off the bottom of each egg to create a flat base for stability.
Using a small paring knife, hollow out two small holes for the ears near the pointed end of the egg.
Slice the baby carrots into thin, round slices, then cut each slice in half to create semi-circle shapes for the mice ears.
Insert the carrot semi-circles into the prepared holes in the egg to form the ears.
Cut the olives into small circular pieces to make the eyes. Use a tiny dab of cream cheese on the back of each olive slice and stick them onto the egg to create the mouse’s eyes.
Snip the chives into 2-inch long pieces. Using a toothpick, create three tiny holes where the nose would go, and insert the chives into the holes to make the whiskers.
Slice one of the radishes into thin circles, then chop each slice into small triangle shapes to create a nose for each mouse. Attach the radish noses to the egg using a small dab of cream cheese.
Take the remaining radish and cut it into thin, elongated strips. Attach one strip to the back of each egg to mimic the tail.
Repeat these steps for all the hard-boiled eggs. Arrange the completed edible mice on a plate or platter for serving.
Serve immediately for the best presentation, and enjoy the smiles on your guests’ faces!
