Ingredients

8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1⁄2 teaspoon curry powder
3 medium radishes, sliced
4 black olives, pitted
1 bunch chives, sliced into ½” strips

Ingredient Notes & Swaps

Hard-boiled eggs: Older eggs peel more easily. Steam or boil ahead of time.
Mayonnaise: Feel free to use Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a lighter option.
Curry powder: Adds warmth and color—use paprika for a more traditional deviled egg flavor.
Radishes: Their natural curve makes perfect bunny ears. Thin slices work best.
Black olives: Use black sesame seeds or peppercorns if olives aren’t your thing.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the eggs: Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks. Set whites aside on a platter.
Make the filling: In a bowl, mash yolks with mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and curry powder until smooth.
Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
Decorate:
- Cut radish slices in half and insert as bunny ears.
- Snip small corners of radish for the nose, pressing into the yolk filling.
- Use tiny pieces of black olive for eyes.
- Add chive strips as whiskers coming out from under the nose.
Chill & serve: Cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours before serving.

Tips for Success

Use a piping bag for neater filling—makes decorating easier too!
Dry radish slices with a paper towel to help them stay in place.
If prepping far ahead, store egg whites and yolk mixture separately, then assemble before serving.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

These Bunny Deviled Eggs shine on an Easter brunch spread next to hot cross buns, fruit salad, or even mini muffins. For a more savory lineup, pair them with a veggie tray and a dip like this Beer Cheese Dip. Want a sweet contrast? Serve with light desserts like lemon bars or pastel-colored candies.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating Tips

Storage: Keep deviled eggs covered in the fridge for up to 4 hours after assembly.
Make-ahead: Egg whites and filling can be made up to 2 days in advance. Decorate day of.
Freezing: Not recommended—egg whites don’t thaw well.
