Heavenly Eggs with Carrot Knots
*Video is recommended
Ingredients and Tools Needed
6 Hard boiled eggs peeled
3 + Tablespoons of mayonnaise
Dash of Curry Powder
Salt
Carrot, cleaned and peeled
Vegetable peeler
Crinkle cutter
Spoon & fork
Small Bowl
Pastry Bag with wide open star tip
Paring knife
Ruler 6 or 12 inch
Take the crinkle cutter and slice the eggs in half long wise. This gives them a pretty crinkled edge. Now take the yolk and put in the small bowl. Do all the eggs this way and then put all the eggs on a nice plate. Next take a fork and mash up the yolks really well. Add the mayo and a dash of Curry Powder. I like Curry because it gives it a nice flavor. Add a dash of salt and then mix with your spoon thoroughly. Now fill the pastry tube with the egg yolk mixture. Be careful to seal the top end of the bag so that it does not ooze out. Fill all the eggs with mixture. Rinse out your bowl and fill with hot water form the faucet. Now take your carrot and with the peeler, peel off a nice long strip. With the ruler, place it on top of the carrot strip and cut a long very narrow piece with the paring knife all the way down the length of the carrot strip. It should be about 1/8 of an inch wide or a little less. Cut one for each egg. You may need to peel of more strips from the carrot. Place each cut piece in the bowl of warm water to make them pliable. Take the carrot strip and gently fold into a knot and place on top of the egg yolk and break off a little of the excess on both ends. This is fun to do and looks pretty too.
