These cheerful cheese chicks are a festive and easy Easter bite. Perfect for an Easter brunch, Easter breakfast or as a playful amuse during Easter drinks. Not only do they look delightful on the table, they are also delicious in flavour.
With just a few ingredients, you can create these fun Easter cheese chicks in no time – a treat that both young and old will love.
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.
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.
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.
Take them out of the fridge 20–30 minutes before serving for the best flavour.

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.
