Notes
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. You can boil the eggs and prep the ingredients in advance, then assemble just before serving. What can I use instead of bacon?
You can skip the bacon or replace it with ham, turkey, or even a vegetarian option. How do I make the decorations stick?
Use a small amount of mayonnaise as “glue” to hold the eyes, beaks, and other details in place. Can I use different vegetables?
Absolutely. Try olives, cherry tomatoes, or even cheese pieces for different designs.
