Directions
Step 1

On a flat surface, slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Arrange the eggs, yolk-side down, on 2 plates.

Step 2

With a paring knife, slice the black olives into 8 eye shapes. If you don't have a paring knife, cut an olive in half and lay it, cut side down, on a flat surface. With a plastic straw, poke a hole in an olive half. Remove the small round olive piece from the straw. Repeat for each eye. Use the small punched out olive rounds as the eyes.

Step 3

Slice the radish or carrot into 8 thin circles for the “ears.”

Step 4

Make 2 slits in the front (the wider part of the egg is the back of the “mouse”) for the “eyes” and make 2 slits for the “ears.” Insert the olive slices into the “eye” slits and the radish or carrot slices into the “ear” slits.

Step 5

Arrange the chives in the “back” to make tails.

Step 6

Serve with a wedge of cheese.
