Cooking method

Step 1:

The ingredients.
Step 2:

Cut the white bread into thin little pieces — these will be the hedgehog's "quills." Boil the chicken in salted water until cooked through. Boil the vegetables and eggs. Let everything cool.
Step 3:

Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater and salt to taste. I mix in a little mayonnaise, which makes the salad juicier. You can also just lay down the layer and spread mayonnaise only on top (whatever you prefer).
Step 4:

Lay down the potato layer, shaping it into an elongated hedgehog. Spread mayonnaise over the top.
Step 5:

Finely chop the chicken, add a little mayonnaise, and mix.
Step 6:

Lay the chicken over the potato layer. Spread with mayonnaise if you like. Build the following layers so the hedgehog shape narrows toward the top.
Step 7:

The next layer is smoked processed cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater. At this point you can press the hedgehog's "snout" down a little.
Step 8:

The next layer is carrots. Salt to taste.
Step 9:

Then grate the egg yolk over the top and spread a little mayonnaise.
Step 10:

For the last layer, grate the egg white on the small holes. Don't spread mayonnaise on top.
Step 11:

And finally, give the hedgehog its "quills" of croutons. Cut the eyes and nose from prunes. The "Hedgehog" salad is ready. Pop it in the fridge to let the flavors meld a little. Enjoy!
