Ingredients

Persons-+

15grams Henri Willig Organic Truffle

15gram Henri Willig Koekaas Organic Jersey

12,5 grams of pineapple cut into small pieces
62,5 gram mascarpone
0,25 carrot (small pieces needed for decoration)
peppercorns or poppy seeds for the eyes

Preparation

Mix the mascarpone with the chopped pineapple and grated truffle cheese in a bowl. Place the mixture covered in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Fill a bowl with grated Jersey cheese. Roll small balls of the mascarpone mixture and roll them one by one through the Jersey cheese until completely coated.

3
For the beak and feet, cut small triangles from a carrot. Gently press these into the bottom and front of the cheese chicks.

For the eyes, you can use black peppercorns, poppy seeds or seaweed. Be careful to remove the peppercorns before eating the cheese chicks.

5
Spread a toast with Henri Willig cheese dip and put the cheese chick on top. Serve the Easter treats on a pretty platter or wooden board.

Why are Easter chicks always yellow?

Yellow chicks are the symbol of Easter because they represent spring, light and new life. Yellow is also a cheerful colour that immediately evokes a feeling of warmth and sunshine - exactly what we celebrate at Easter!

Serving and variation tip:

Are you going to make these cheese chicks together with kids? Then put everything ready in trays and let everyone make their own chick. They will then proudly put their own treat on the table!

Beautiful cheeseboard inspiration for Easter! Our firm tip for a creative cheeseboard; cut the different cheeses in various ways. On this cheeseboard: - Shaved slices of lavender cheese - Dots of aged sheep's cheese - A rose of organic Jersey cheese - Sliced slices of Green Pesto cheese - Crackers - Tomato - Passion fruit - Pistachio nuts - Balsamic dip The pretty flower shape was created by shaving the organic jersey cheese into slices and placing all the slices in a round dish around each other, it gives that pretty effect! The green pesto cheese was cut into wedges and placed in another dish. This way, your cheeseboard is playful and just a little bit different than usual! Thanks Manon from @courgetticonfetti for this colourful creative board!

White asparagus, also known as the "white gold", are a true spring treat. They have a mild, delicate flavour and lend themselves perfectly to light and elegant dishes. In this recipe, we combine them with a surprising spring onion pesto, which gives the soup just that little extra spice and freshness. A delicious, seasonal soup that is both warming and refreshing - perfect for lunch or as a stylish starter with a spring or Easter menu.
