Ingredients
- 6 pieces hard-boiled eggs
- 2 pieces baby carrots
- 12 pieces sliced olives
- 6 stalks chives
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 pieces radishes
Directions
Step 1
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut a thin slice off the bottom of each egg to create a flat base for stability.
Step 2
Using a small paring knife, hollow out two small holes for the ears near the pointed end of the egg.
Step 3
Slice the baby carrots into thin, round slices, then cut each slice in half to create semi-circle shapes for the mice ears.
Step 4
Insert the carrot semi-circles into the prepared holes in the egg to form the ears.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Take the remaining radish and cut it into thin, elongated strips. Attach one strip to the back of each egg to mimic the tail.
Step 9
Repeat these steps for all the hard-boiled eggs. Arrange the completed edible mice on a plate or platter for serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately for the best presentation, and enjoy the smiles on your guests’ faces!
