List of Ingredients




8 extra large eggs*
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard (or prepared yellow mustard)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 large pimento stuffed olives or black ripe olives, each sliced into 4 slices (or 16 raisins)
16 tiny triangles cut from a red bell pepper (can substitute carrots)


Recipe



Place eggs in saucepan of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, STIRRING GENTLY AND CONSTANTLY, this keeps the yolks in the center. Boil and gently stir for 2 minutes. Place on tight fitting lid and turn off heat. Let sit for 25 minutes.

Carefully put eggs into bowl of ice water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. Carefully peel eggs. This is easy if eggs are older. Rinse with cold water, place on paper towel. Slice thin slice off bottom of each egg, *this will ensure they stand up later. With paring knife, cut top third of egg off in a zig-zag pattern. CAREFULLY remove tops.

CAREFULLY scoop out yolks. Take your time doing this, you may need to use your paring knife to break up yolks inside to get them out. Place yolks in mixing bowl, mash WELL with fork. Stir in rest of ingredients except olives and peppers. Overfill bottom egg white "shell" with filling, place top "shell" on carefully pressing very gently.

Place on olive slices or raisins for eyes, pressing them into the filling gently. Push 2 triangles of red pepper or carrot into filling to make beak. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.

*You may want to boil a few extra eggs for this, in case some of them don't peel well or get wrecked, it happens. Also so that you will have plenty of filling, too! If you boil extra eggs and add the yolks to the filling, just add a bit more of the ingredients to compensate, it'll be fine! ;).
