These are very often requested! They really capture the kids' imaginations and we may have to create some sort of food "lake" (blue hummus?) on which to float them.
Ingredients
- 4 hard-cooked eggs, carefully cut horizontally in half
- 1 Tablespoon light mayonnaise
- 1-2 teaspoons yellow mustard (optional)
- 2 teaspoons pickle relish (optional, we used sweet relish)
- fresh parsley, minced
- paprika (especially smoked paprika)
- Triangular corn chips – thick, sturdy ones work best.
Instructions
- Gently remove the yellow yolks from the hard-cooked eggs, and place the yolks in a bowl.
- Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise and add the other ingredients if you and your kids like them. (Some of our students dislike mustard.)
- blend in the fresh herb.
- Spoon the mixture into a plastic zip-top bag, and zip it closed. Snip a small bottom corner of the bag to make a 1/2″ hole, and squeeze the yolk mixture into the empty white eggs.
- Sprinkle the paprika on top of the mixture.
- Top with a corn chip to turn the deviled egg into a tiny sailboat.
