“Carrot” Egg Salad Cups
Looking for the CUTEST brunch of lunch idea for this weekend? Try these out! Every bunny will love them! The best part: they’re SO much easier to make than you’d expect.
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Heavy duty aluminum foil
1 egg + 1 teaspoon water
1 drop red food coloring + 1 drop yellow food coloring (optional)
Egg Salad:
6 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Salt
Pepper
Onion powder
Fresh Dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F
Using heavy duty foil shape the foil into a cone. Watch the video to see how! Lightly spray the foil cones and set aside
On a floured surface lightly roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet
Cut the puff pastry into 1 inch long strips
Taking one strip at a time, wrap the puff pastry around the cone making sure to slightly overlap each layer. Pinch the puff pastry at the top to ensure it doesn’t unravel. Continue this with as many carrot cups as you’d like
In a small bowl whisk together an egg, water, red and yellow food coloring. Brush the puff pastry with the egg wash and put into the oven
Bake for about 15 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden
While cooking make the egg salad by adding the chopped hard boiled eggs to a bowl
To the eggs add the mayo, mustard, chopped chives, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix until combined
Spoon in the egg salad to the carrot puff pastry cups until filled, and then put a few sprigs of dill into the egg salad to make it look like carrot tops
That’s it! How adorable is that? Hoppy Easter!
