  • 8 eggs
  • 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1⁄4 cup green onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 can crescent rolls (original or seamless dough sheet)
  • Dill or parsley for garnish
  • Optional: yellow and red food coloring

Additional Materials:

  • Aluminum foil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Hard boil your eggs. We recommend hard boiling in the oven for the perfect hard boil egg.

But you can also hard boil the classic way by placing eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.

3. Place the chopped eggs in a bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise, mustard and green onion. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Refrigerate until ready to use.

4. Unroll sheet of crescent rolls. Use your fingers to press seams together or simply roll out flat if using crescent seamless dough sheet. Using a pizza cutter, cut 6 equal strips horizontally. Roll the strips into a 16”-18” log and pinch the seam shut.

5. Create 6 cone shapes from aluminum foil, or wrap a sugar cone with foil and use that as to wrap the crescents. You may also use 6 cream horn molds instead if available.

6. If using food coloring, squeeze 30 drops of yellow food coloring into a small bowl. Add one to two drops of red food coloring. Stir to create orange color, and brush onto each carrot. If you do not want to use food coloring, you can simply brush each carrot with egg wash and they will bake up golden brown.

7. Set the carrots on a foil lined baking sheet, and bake for 6-8 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

8. Once cooled, remove the molds from the crescent carrots, and fill with egg salad. Add a few stems of fresh dill or parsley to complete the carrot.

9. These are best enjoyed the same day; however, they stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days.

Presto – a beautiful, fun creation that is super tasty too!

    Instead of the greens for the top, using the leafy celery parts seems to be a great alternative.

    I signed up to bring finger sandwiches to my sons kindergarten class for their Easter party. How much fun will these be to bring instead!! Can’t wait to try it! And like the celery top suggestion as well. Wish me luck. 🙂
