Ingredients

  • 6 large egg s
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnais e
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 0.125 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 small carrot , peeled
  • 1 whole black olive

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with one inch of cold water. Bring to a boil.
  • Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes.
  • Transfer eggs to an ice water bath for 5 minutes, then peel carefully.
  • Slice a thin sliver off the bottom of each egg so they stand upright.
  • Cut the top third off each egg. Carefully remove the yolks from the bottoms and the top slices without breaking the whites.
  • In a small bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip.
  • Pipe the yolk mixture into the bottom egg whites, filling them high enough so the filling protrudes significantly above the rim.
  • Place the top egg white slice onto the piped yolk to form a hat.
  • Cut two small circles from the black olive for eyes and a small triangle from the carrot for a beak; press them into the yolk filling face.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate.
