Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Crescent Roll Carrots:

    • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
    • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
    • Orange food coloring (or mix red + yellow)
    • 1 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for extra shine)
    • Fresh parsley, dill, or chives (for “carrot tops”)

    For the Egg Salad Filling:

    1. 6 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
    2. ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
    3. 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    4. ½ tsp salt
    5. ¼ tsp black pepper
    6. ½ tsp paprika
    7. 2 tbsp finely chopped green onion or chives
    8. 1 tbsp diced celery or pickles (optional)

Instructions


  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Wrap foil into cone shapes (about 4 inches long) to act as molds. Spray them lightly with cooking spray.
    Open the crescent roll dough and separate into strips or triangles.
    Wrap each strip around a foil cone, overlapping slightly to create a “carrot” shape.
    Brush with egg wash and add orange food coloring for a vibrant carrot look.

  • Bake the Crescent Carrots:
    Place on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
    Remove from the oven, brush with melted butter for shine (optional), and let cool slightly.
    Carefully remove the foil molds and let the crescent rolls cool completely.

  • Make the Egg Salad:
    In a bowl, mash together chopped boiled eggs, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika.
    Stir in green onions, celery, or pickles for added crunch.
    Adjust seasoning to taste.

  • Fill & Decorate the Carrots:
    Spoon or pipe egg salad into each crescent roll “carrot.”
    Stick a small bunch of parsley, dill, or chives into the top for the carrot greens.

Notes

  • You can make the egg salad ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until ready to fill the crescent rolls.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a little relish or chopped pickles to the egg salad.
