Tangerine snack made from carrots, cheese and eggs

Such an appetizer, similar to tangerines, looks very impressive and realistic and will definitely decorate your festive table. Prepares in minutes.

Ingredients

• Boiled carrots - 2 pcs.
• Boiled eggs - 2 pcs.
• Processed cheese - 200 g
• Garlic - 3-4 cloves
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper - to taste
• Mayonnaise to taste
• For decoration (optional):
• Bay leaf - 3-4 pcs.
• or fresh dill - 1 sprig

Directions

1. Boil hard-boiled eggs (8 minutes) and carrots until tender (20-25 minutes). Cool and clean.
2. Grate eggs and cream cheese on a fine grater.
3. Add garlic, passed through a press, salt, black pepper and mayonnaise to the eggs with cheese. Other spices can be added to taste.
4. Mix everything well. You should get a dense mass, from which it will be convenient to form balls. I got 4 balls.
5. Rub the boiled carrots on a fine grater and remove excess moisture (it is convenient to do this with gauze).
6. We cover the cutting board with cling film or a bag. Put the carrots on the film in a thin layer.
7. In the middle we put a ball formed from a cheese and egg mixture.
8. Carefully cover the ball with grated carrots.
9. And we form a tangerine.
10. We do this with all the carrot and cheese-egg mass.
11. Ready-made "tangerines" of carrots, cheese and eggs can be decorated with a bay leaf or a sprig of dill.
12. Bon Appetit!
