Steps:
- Slice through the top 1/3 of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon and transfer to a bowl.
- Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped with the egg yolk mixture. Pipe egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites creating the 'chick', ensuring there is enough filling to add 'eyes' and a 'beak.'
- Slice small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 'beaks'. Add a 'beak' to each 'chick'.
- Slice olive pieces into small squares to be used as 'eyes.' Add 2 'eyes' to each 'chick.' Place the egg tops onto each 'chick' to look like a chick peaking out of the egg.

EASTER HARD BOILED EGGS
A Gruszecki tradition and now ours, is that each person gets a colored egg at the beginning of the meal, right after "grace". Each person uses his/her egg to tap on everyone else at the table, while wishing them a Happy Easter. Part of the trick is to be the last one with an egg not crushed. After you smack eggs with everyone at the table, the egg gets peeled and eaten. The following are a few hints that will help you cook the best hardboiled eggs: The fresher the egg, the harder it will be to peal it. You should purchase your eggs 2 weeks before you'll be cooking them in order to get them to peal easy. And, the way to get the yolk to be in the center of the egg after it's boiled, is to store them on their side. This relieves the pressure on the membrane within the egg that holds it suspended. The green coloring on the outside of the yolk is caused by cooking them too long. Cooking by the directions below will eliminate that.

Steps:
- Place the eggs in a pot with enough cold salted water to cover.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 5 minutes only, then take off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pot, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- You'll get perfect hard boiled eggs using this method, without the outside of the yolk turning green.
- Drain the water out and either run cold water in or use ice cubes.
- If you don't cool them off quickly enough, they will develop a green skin between the yolk and the white.
- Peel the eggs, quarter and plate them.
- You can make these eggs a day or 2 ahead of Easter.
- If you wish to dye them, purchase "Paas" dyes or another edible dye version and follow the package directions.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best results. Older eggs are more likely to crack when boiled.
- Bring the eggs to room temperature before boiling them. This will help to prevent them from cracking.
- Add a teaspoon of salt to the water when boiling the eggs. This will also help to prevent them from cracking.
- Boil the eggs for the correct amount of time. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath after boiling them. This will help to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- Peel the eggs under cold running water. This will help to remove the shells more easily.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Be creative with your chick designs! You can use different colored construction paper, markers, and other craft supplies to make your chicks unique.
Conclusion:
Easter hard-boiled egg chicks are a fun and easy way to celebrate the holiday. They are also a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen. With a little creativity, you can make your own unique chick designs that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
