Carrot Shaped Crescents Filled with Egg Salad


Easter will be here before you know it so I decided to start making Easter dishes early this year. I started off last weekend with this neat dish. I found this idea on Pinterest and I just had to do it.

Carrot shaped crescents filled with egg salad. These turned out better than I expected them to. I made the cone shape object needed to form the carrot shape out of foil. I simply wrapped foil around an ice cream cone then pulled the cone out.

Ingredients:
1-8oz package of crescents (seamless is best)
1/8 teaspoon orange food coloring
2 tablespoons of water
egg salad
dill (for decoration)
foil for the cone
Directions:
    1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Open crescents, roll out on a clean surface and cut into 1 inch strips long ways.
    3. Use the palms of your hands to make each 1 inch strip into rounded strips.
    4. Wrap the strips around the foil cones starting at the bottom of the cone.
    5. In a small cup add water and about a toothpick full of food coloring (1/8 teaspoon)
    6. brush on orange food coloring to the uncooked crescents
    7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until firm.
    8. Allow to cool then remove foil cones.
    9. Fill cones with egg salad and decorate with dill.

This will make a perfect appetizer for Easter. Thanks for reading! As always you can see how I made these here:
