Instructions
Start by cutting your hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. You gonna wanna set the whites on a plate, careful not to break them.
Scoop out the yolks and pop them into a mixing bowl. You spot those little golden centers, waiting to be mashed.
Mash the yolks with light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt until you get a smooth, creamy mix. You feel that texture is just right when it’s soft to the touch but still thick enough to pipette.
Now spoon or pipe that yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. This is where you can get creative, gently filling each cavity like a mini nest.
Use your chives to create whiskers by laying ’em gently across the yolk filling. You gotta think bunny face here!
Add the black olives for eyes, placing those tiny pieces nice and close for the best expression.
The red bell pepper gets chopped super small and placed in the center for a cute little nose. It’s those little details that bring the bunny to life.
Finally, garnish with thin carrot slices as ears and a sprig of curly parsley if you’re feeling fancy. These last touches will have you smiling big.
Notes
Serve on a plate, surrounded by curly parsley (for grass).
