Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 toothpicks
- 1 black olive
- 1 radish
Instructions
- Boil eggs for 15 minutes at a rolling boil, then cool, peel, and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out yolks and mash with mayonnaise, mustard, black pepper, and salt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Deviled Egg Mice ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the components ahead. Make the filling and store it separately, then assemble your Deviled Egg Mice just before serving to keep the decorations fresh and crisp.
What can I use for the mouse tails and ears?
Use chives or green onion strips for the tails. For the ears, sliced almonds or small pieces of radish work perfectly to complete the adorable look of these Deviled Egg Mice.
How do I keep the filling from being too dry?
Ensure your yolks are mashed smoothly and use enough mayonnaise or a touch of mustard for moisture. The right consistency is key for piping the filling to form the mouse bodies in this fun recipe.
