I’m whipping up deviled eggs for dogs today! I love holidays with all the family, but good food is also a must! Last week I told you about my Easter Brunch recommendation, and today I’ll be preparing the perfect appetizer for your brunch! My mom even bought me this fun new spring apron for my Easter project!
Good old Henrietta the chicken is back out of her nest for Easter to help me with the eggs. The past few years we have been coloring eggs, but I think my sisters and I are past that stage now and are ready to move on to finer cuisine.
I’m going to get started by loading up Henrietta with eggs. She will get them cooked for me so I can work with them. Once they are cooked, have your human peel them real quick. It’s too hard to peel hot eggs with paws.
This year I got some fun hard boiled egg molds at the craft store. I can’t wait to try squishing the eggs into the tulip and flower shapes! I was opening the molds while Mom peeled the eggs for me. Mom makes a great assistant!
Now the fun begins! Simply put the still hot egg into the mold, close and lock the lid.
After you lock the eggs into their molds, you drop them in some ice water for ten minutes. I sure hope they can swim!
It seemed to me the eggs were in the ice bath forever, but I was patient and waited for my timer to go off. Once the time is up, simply fish them out of the water. I just used my teeth for that.
Wowzers! Look how cute them came out! I really like the round flower ones! No sticking, no issues getting them onto the plate either. If you wanted to, you could just serve up hard boiled eggs plain in this cute form.
Next up I have to make the filling. I cut the eggs in half, put the yolks in a bowl, and added chunks of meat from my can of Easter Brunch. I used about the same amount of meat as I had of yolks. Mash the two ingredients together, and put in a ziplock bag with an end cut off so you can use it as a piping bag.
Before you fill the whites with the tasty filling, make sure and give it a good taste or two. No one wants bad tasting filling!
If the filling tastes amazing, get your bag and start filling he whites, making cute little dollops.
Now you have the finished product, deviled eggs for dogs, made with paw love! I like to add a few Merrick Power Bites, wabbit flavor, as a garnish to the top of each egg.
They look good and taste delicious! As the cook, I always like to keep testing my work just to make sure it hasn’t gone bad all of the sudden! Why not whip up some of these for your dog on Easter with my recipe? They will love them!
how cool is that – we have never seen boiled egg moulds before.
It is the first time we have seen them too. Something new and different is always fun!
Love your new apron, Emma! It suits you. I saw Poppin Fresh on the counter behind you. Just curious – is he a canister?
He is a cookie jar I think. Mom found him at one of those odds and ends stores a few years back. She loves the dough boy and with Pillsbury being from here, it’s perfect.
What a great idea Ms Emma?
Thank you. Mom always makes deviled eggs for the humans and since we love eggs too, now we can have our own version.
Those look festive and yummy!
They are very yummy!
oh what a great idea… we will try that too… and the trick with the mold and the ice water is brilliant…. Thanks for a super idea directly from Emmas Gourmet Kitchen!
A hint…from dog to dog…drink the water when the eggs are done because it is egg flavored π
The perfect Easter treat!
It is! Any dog would love some of these!
Amazing, Emma! We have never seen hard boiled egg molds. So cute.As always you are so clever. Love the new Spring apron. XOXO Sparkle
I like to find new things to help give traditional kitchen projects a fun new flair.
This is seriously the BEST thing we have read ALL day!! We must try these!! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!! Now…can you ask your mom WHERE she got the molds?? Thanks!
Thank you. We thought it was a fun idea. We got the molds at Michaels. They were on clearance last week, so hopefully they still have some.
Whi knew you could make egg shapes, how cute is that! And those look doggie yummy.
Cute, tasty, and pretty healthy. A good deal all around!
You are our #1 chef! Looks fantastic

You guys need to make some for yourselves!
Great post Emma! One of my absolute favorite foods is hard boiled eggs!!!! I’m going to make sure mom reads this so she will know how to make it for us (we’re not as good as you in the kitchen!) Have a good day, your doodle friend Dash.
We always get an egg each on Saturdays, usually hard boiled, and we love those. This is a fun variation for a holiday, or special occasion.
Emma, you are impressive! I could never get through a recipe without eating all the ingredients before finishing π
And, look how stylish you are!
Wooftastic!

I’m the canine version of Julia Childs. I know I get to eat my product when I’m done, I get to taste along the way, and lick out the bowl, so I am pretty patient.
I always wondered if those egg molds worked! Fun!
Merrick really should pay you for recipe development, this in ingenious! However, my dad loves deviled eggs so much I bet he’d accidentally eat these and not be very happy with me…as it would not be the first time he’s accidentally enjoyed a homemade dog treat! ???
On the upside, if he eats them, the food is all human grade! We were a bit worried about squishing the egg into the mold, but as long as they are still pretty hot, they just adjust themselves.
Those are so cute and I am drooling at the thought of them. You are such a whizz in the kitchen. β₯ β₯
They are not only cute, they are super tasty! I’d send you one, but they have to stay chilled π
OMD EMMA…. WABBIT Garnish on those Delightfully Stuffed Eggs !! WOW WOW WOW!
I find wabbit goes with absolutely everything!
Those are so incredibly clever and cute!! DakotasDen
Thank you, but you forgot to mention tasty π
Oh wow! You’re so talented! Those look delicious! I bet Zoe and Phoenix would like them!
Any dog who loves eggs will love them, the chicken and wabbit are a bonus.
Your cooking shows are so much fun and you might have out done yourself!!!
I keep striving to improve my culinary skills. Cooking is such a great self rewarding behavior!
These look adorable and yummy!
Trust me, they are π
Looks yummy!
They are super yummy. You should make some!
OMD…what a great idea!! Emma, we think you may have to write your own cookbook or maybe host a show on the Food Network!

I’d love to host my own cooking show, but so far my phone isn’t ringing…still waiting for Hollywood to give me a call.
Those molds are beyond adorable. You sure you’re not related to Julia Childs? α¦
Well, I am a French Scent Hound, but she was a pretty big woman and I’m fairly small…only 18″ tall, so I kind of doubt it.
What a great recipe! I might have to try these out!
You should. They are super easy to make and we love them!
I love your apron! Those eggs look really good. I think it is a great idea to keep taste testing them.
Thank you. I love my new apron too because it is so bright and fun. It’s tough having to cook and taste, but I “force” myself to do it π
what a fabulous idea!
Can’t beat easy and tasty!
That’s a really cool, easy recipe. Just make sure it doesn’t get mixed in with the human’s apps. π
Humans could eat them, but I wouldn’t want to share!
This is so awesome!! I’ll def try this!!
Your pictures make me smile every time!! It’s so funny!! Haha!!
We like to promote health and fitness for dogs, but we also like to help our friends get their smiles and laughs for the day!
