Cute Egg Chicks #2
"From the Taste of Home Test Kitchen staff who said "These big-eyed chicks will steal the show at your Easter table or on a buffet. Our Test Kitchen staff took a little artistic license w/a recipe shared by Field Editor Tami Escher of Dumont, Minnesota ... And came up w/these clever chicks." This recipe was originally published as "Cute Egg Chicks" in Taste of Home, April/May issue of 2003 on Page 22. (Time does not include the time to hard-boil & cool the eggs) Enjoy!"
