Such an appetizer, similar to tangerines, looks very impressive and realistic and will definitely decorate your festive table. Prepares in minutes.
Summary
Ingredients
For decoration (optional):
Instructions
- 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.
- Add garlic, passed through a press, salt, black pepper and mayonnaise to the eggs with cheese. Other spices can be added to taste.
- Mix everything well. You should get a dense mass, from which it will be convenient to form balls. I got 4 balls.
- Rub the boiled carrots on a fine grater and remove excess moisture (it is convenient to do this with gauze).
- Cover the cutting board with cling film or a bag. Put the carrots in a thin layer on the film.
- In the middle we put a ball formed from a cheese and egg mixture.
- Carefully cover the ball with grated carrots.
- And we form a tangerine.
- We do this with the whole carrot and cheese-egg mass.
- Ready-made “tangerines” of carrots, cheese and eggs can be decorated with a bay leaf or a sprig of dill.
Enjoy your meal!
