Kids will love these fun stuffed eggs that
are made to look like little sailboats. The boat is the egg half,
and the 'sail' is a quarter slice of American cheese stuck onto
a toothpick 'mast'.
Sailboat Eggs
- 6 hard-cooked Chino Valley fresh large
eggs, (see instructions below)
1/3 cup ranch dressing
3 slices American cheese, each cut diagonally into four triangles.
Toothpicks
- Cut hard cooked eggs in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out yellows and place in srnall
resealable baggie. Add ranch dressing. Seal bag shut and squeeze
and squish until contents are well mixed. Push contents toward
corner.
- Snip about 1/2-inch off corner of baggie
and use like a pastry bag to pipe filling into egg whites.
- Skewer each triangular cheese "sail"
onto a toothpick mast. Secure on egg to make a sailboat.
Makes 12 1/2 egg servings.
To hard cook eggs: Place eggs in a single
layer in saucepan and add enough water to come at least 1-inch
above eggs. Cover and quickly bring just to boiling. Turn off
heat. If necessary, remove the pan from the burner to prevent,
further boiling. Let the eggs stand covered in the hot water
about 18 to 20 minutes for large eggs (Adjust the time up or
down by about 3 minutes for each size larger or srnaller). To
help prevent a dark surface on the yolk, immediately run cold
water over the eggs or place them in ice water until completely
cooled.
