How to make Football Deviled Eggs

Just a few sprigs of chives and kitchen scissors can easily turn deviled eggs into footballs. Cut one sprig of chives into three pieces the width of the yellow of the egg and cut another piece the length of each egg yellow. Lay the three pieces of the shorter chives across the width of the yellow and lay the longer piece across the shorter pieces to represent the lacings on a football.

Arrange the football eggs on a tray surrounded by olives and different cheeses for a gorgeous football party platter. They could also be the main event on a crudité platter surrounded by baby carrots, stuffed celery, sliced cucumbers, and other favorite fresh vegetables. They are one of the easiest football party food ideas for any football party.

I never thought deviled eggs shaped like foot balls. Great idea, Evelyn. You should bring these over to the Super Bowl party. /
