Bunny Eggs

2 strips bacon

6 hard-cooked eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 teaspoon salt

dash pepper

3 olives

1 carrot

6 broccoli or cauliflower flowerets

1. Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain and cool it on a paper towel.

2. Shell the eggs, and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a dish.

3. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper; mix well. Break the bacon into small pieces, and gently stir them into the yolk mixture.

4. Fill the egg whites with the mixture.

5. To make the bunnies, cut each olive into four pieces and use them for eyes. Cut a carrot into 1″ (2.5 cm) sticks for ears. Use small vegetable flowerets for the tails.
