Funny snowmen from eggs for the New Year's table

Ingredients

... hard-boiled eggs (chicken - 8-9 minutes of boiling when laying in cold water; quail - 5 minutes)
... carrot
... wooden skewers for barbecue

Cut off the ends of the eggs to make them stable.

To make a snowman hat, cut off two carrot circles of different diameters. Cut a large circle from the thick end and a small one from the thin end.

Cut a wooden skewer from one end to a length equal to the height of two eggs placed on top of each other. When cutting, make sure that there are no chips on the cut. Our prepared skewer has one sharp end, the other blunt.

With the sharp end of the skewer we make holes in the centers of the carrot circles.

Then we insert a skewer into the circles with a blunt end, as shown in the photo. For quail eggs you can use wooden toothpicks.

We put two eggs one on top of the other and stick a skewer with a carrot hat vertically into them.

The snowman is assembled.

It remains to decorate it with black peppercorns (these will be the eyes of a snowman and buttons on the belly) and a wedge cut out of carrots depicting a nose.

NOTE. If the snowmen are intended for children, we cut out the eyes and buttons from black olives or from a crust of brown bread.

Insert the peppercorns and the carrot nose into the grooves made in the egg whites with the sharp end of the skewer.

Decorate the snowmen with parsley sprigs and serve.

- 4 things.
Eggs - 4-5 pcs.

Snowman salad recipe

1st stage - preparatory. Boil carrots and potatoes in their uniforms. Boil eggs hard-boiled. Cool it down. We clean up. Boil the skinless chicken breast until tender. Finely chop the onion and mushrooms and fry on vegetable oil.
Cover a deep round plate with cling film.

2nd stage - lay out the salad in layers.
With the first layer of salad we make eggs grated on a fine grater.

We coat with mayonnaise mesh.

Layer 2 layers of finely chopped chicken breast... We also coat with mayonnaise.

Rub the carrots on a fine grater in 3 layers. We leave 1 carrot for salad dressing and making a "nose" for a snowman.

We coat the carrots on top with a mayonnaise net.

Put the mushrooms fried with onions in 4 layers. It is not necessary to coat this layer with mayonnaise.

5th layer - crumbled yolks. We also coat the layer with mayonnaise.

6 final layer - potatoes grated on a coarse grater.

3rd stage. Cover the salad bowl with a flat plate on which the salad will be on the table. Turn the salad over onto a plate. A protein layer should appear on top. If the lower layers are visible somewhere, then you can "mask" them with mayonnaise.

Let's make the salad look like a snowman. We make a "nose" from carrots. We make "eyes" from olives. Cut out the "forelock" and "smile" from the bell pepper. Optionally, we can complement the image of a snowman-gentleman with a bow tie made of olives.
Hearty, beautiful and tasty New Year's salad "Snowman" ready!
Enjoy your meal!

The snowman is one of the most beloved winter characters, which we often associate not only with winter and snow, but also with New Year's celebrations. Each of us will probably remember at least one fairy tale or cartoon where a snowman helps Santa Claus or Santa Claus. Therefore, it is quite logical that some holiday dishes for new Year's table arrange in the form of snowmen or decorate them with appropriate figures.

A culinary snowman, unlike a real snowman, does not have to be made up of three parts - it is quite possible to do with two: a head and a body. This design will be more compact and stable, especially when it comes to desserts and snacks and you need a vertical figure.

A vertical snowman can be made from eggs, fastened with skewers, or from balls molded from various snack or dessert masses. An important condition is that the mass must be viscous and thick in order to keep its shape well.

It is better to grind or mince food for the snack mass, rather than cut it. When refueling, it is advisable to introduce into the mass not only mayonnaise or butter, but also soft cheese - it will give the mass the desired viscosity.

Roll the balls in coconut, finely grated protein or grated hard cheese. The ideal option, of course, is protein - since cheese has a yellowish tint, and not everyone likes coconut.

To decorate a snowman, you can use different vegetables, having cut out the necessary details from them, black peppercorns, cloves, nuts, prunes, olives, dill and parsley sprigs. Also, scarves for snowmen can be made from feathers of green onions, unfolded crab sticks, thinly sliced \u200b\u200bcheese.

A dessert snowman can be created from curd mass, mass for coconut candy, or mass for cake potatoes, if you cook it in condensed milk and add cream cheese.

Also suitable for deboning coconut flakes, powdered sugar or white pastry topping. In some cases, you can use melted white chocolate or icing sugar.

You can decorate a dessert snowman with dried fruits (prunes, dried apricots), nuts, candied fruits, small confectionery and sprinkles. Some details and hats can be cut out of marmalade or marshmallow.

Try not to pinch the balls with skewers or toothpicks, as many recipes advise. Guests (especially children) may not immediately notice an inedible item in a soft snack or dessert, which will lead to unpleasant consequences. If you use a mount, then choose decorative skewers that will be visible to guests and will not spoil the design of your dish.

In order for the snowman figure to be stable, make the lower ball flat on one side, and on the other side press the mass inward a little to form a notch. When you place the top ball, its bulge will be in this notch and the ball will not fall.

Before assembling the figurines, soak the dessert and snack balls in the refrigerator so that the mass hardens and does not float. Some recipes advise freezing the balls, but here you need to proceed from the composition of the products - whether the freezing will spoil the taste and how the dish will behave when it starts to thaw before serving.

When assembling a snowman, you can glue the balls together with soft cheese (and appetizer and dessert), softened butter, melted chocolate or jam (desserts). After assembling, place the dish back in the refrigerator to harden.

When choosing ingredients for decorating snacks and desserts, make sure that the products go well with the dish, do not spoil or interrupt its taste. This point is often overlooked by focusing on the beauty of the design.

Black peppercorns and other similar ingredients can be substituted for small pieces of vegetables - they are, of course, very convenient to decorate, but still not intended to be eaten.

If you plan to serve the snowmen not on portioned plates, but on a common dish, then it is better to place the figurines on crackers, cookies, toast, etc., so that it is convenient for guests to move the snack onto their plates and the snowmen do not fall apart. Think about what devices are more convenient to do this: a spatula, a wide fork, or something else.

A large dish in the form of a snowman will also look beautiful.

For example, you can lay out a puff or regular salad, shape it in the form of a snowman and decorate it with vegetables and herbs, giving the snowman a familiar appearance.

You can make a snowman cake, as the cakes are often baked in round tins. All you need is to dock the crust layers of smaller and larger diameters sandwiched with cream, and then make the overall cake coating and decor. At the junction of the cakes, it is better to cut a little and grease the sides with jam or cream to glue them together. It is better to collect the cake right away on the dish on which you plan to serve it on the table.

Usual round cake can be turned into a snowman face with cream or glaze.

Also, snowmen can be cut or molded from confectionery mastic and create a whole fabulous composition.

Snowman pies, buns, cheesecakes, puffs - you can do anything with the dough, so your snowmen will turn out to be very diverse.

And of course, you cannot ignore the cookies and gingerbread cookies in the form of snowmen, painted with colored glaze and decorated with a variety of confectionery decorations. For this new Year's baking you can choose any familiar recipe, because the main thing is form and decoration. Surely with great pleasure the younger members of the family will join you, because all children love to draw, and drawing funny snowmen with sweet colors is a very exciting experience!
