Ingredients
- Small eggs, hardboiled
- Chives
- Flaked almonds or Pine Kernals
- Cloves
- Spices to taste
- Salad garnish, berries optional
Recipe
- Hardboil, cool and shell the eggs
- Cut a small slice off each one so it doesnt roll around the plate (large eggs could be halved)
- From here on the aim is to get the eggs to look like little mice:
- Make a small hole with a skewer and insert a chive 'tail'
- Add two pine kernals or flakes of almond for ears
- Add a clove for a nose
- Arrange on a nest of salad, a few optional berries and nuts look pretty
- Lightly dust with spices, try pepper and paprika for a subtle spicy taste, or just a littel pepper and salt, or powdered mustard perhaps, you only need a tiny bit.

Children like helping with this recipe, it owes its inspiration to the Roman practice of eating Dormice as a delicacy, but its a great use for a lot of home produced small eggs |
