Tangerine Snack with Carrots, Cheese and Eggs

Such an appetizer, similar to tangerines, looks very impressive and realistic and will definitely decorate your festive table. Prepares in minutes.

Summary

Ingredients

• Boiled carrots – 2 pcs.
• Boiled eggs – 2 pcs.
• Processed cheese – 200 g
• Garlic – 3-4 cloves
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper – to taste
• Mayonnaise – to taste

For decoration (optional):

• Bay leaf – 3-4 pcs.
• or fresh dill – 1 sprig

Instructions

1. Boil hard-boiled eggs (8 minutes) and carrots until tender (20-25 minutes). Cool and clean.
   Grate eggs and cream cheese on a fine grater.
2. Add garlic, passed through a press, salt, black pepper and mayonnaise to the eggs with cheese. Other spices can be added to taste.
3. Mix everything well. You should get a dense mass, from which it will be convenient to form balls. I got 4 balls.
4. Rub the boiled carrots on a fine grater and remove excess moisture (it is convenient to do this with gauze).

   

5. Cover the cutting board with cling film or a bag. Put the carrots in a thin layer on the film.
6. In the middle we put a ball formed from a cheese and egg mixture.
7. Carefully cover the ball with grated carrots.
8. And we form a tangerine.

   

9. We do this with the whole carrot and cheese-egg mass.
10. Ready-made “tangerines” of carrots, cheese and eggs can be decorated with a bay leaf or a sprig of dill.

Enjoy your meal!
