INGREDIENTS

8 slices bread
4 teaspoons prepared mustard
8 slices fully cooked ham
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar cheese
4 pitted ripe olives

DIRECTIONS

Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread each slice with mustard; top with ham. Using a 3-1/2-in. egg-shaped cutter, cut mozzarella cheese into egg shapes (discard trimmings or save for another use). Using a sharp knife, cut zigzags in the middle of each egg shape. Place on ham, leaving 1 in. of space between the two pieces.
For each chick, sprinkle cheddar cheese between the two egg pieces. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Cut olives into eight triangles for beaks and 16 small pieces for eyes. Arrange on chicks.
