Simple and creative

Hard-boil the eggs. Meanwhile, dice the chicken breast fillet and potatoes, return the meat cubes to the packaging and mix everything well with salt, pepper and curry spice powder. Now fry the meat cubes in a pan with oil, just don’t cook for too long or the meat will become rubbery. When it’s done, set it aside in a small bowl to cool. Don’t clean the pan because the potato cubes will be fried in the old oil. Fry gently until they are nicely browned on all sides. When the potato cubes are done, set them aside to cool. Finely chop the bunch of chives (set aside 4 tips to decorate the eggs) and put in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of oil. Finely dice the mango and quarter the cocktail tomatoes and add them. Now add the meat, stir and season to taste. If the meat has absorbed the spices well, you don’t really need to add any more seasoning in combination with the sweet mango. Once everything is well mixed, coat the salad with about two handfuls of arugula and then add the potato cubes. It is important that you stir it just before eating so that the arugula does not go soggy and the potato cubes stay crispy. Now cut a hole in the middle of each slice of toast with a diameter of about 3.5 cm. The toast is then placed in the toaster and the bacon is fried in a pan until crispy. The toast can then be served on a plate and the hole can be surrounded by bacon. Peel the eggs and decorate them with peppercorns for eyes. Cut two small slits on the top of the egg and stick two small slices of snack cucumber into these for ears. Fix the chive tips into the egg with the cloves to form noses and whiskers. Finally, place the egg mice in the nest and serve the salad.
