Divide the remaining 7 pieces into yolks and whites - cut the first into small cubes, and grate the second on a fine grater. Chop mushrooms and olives in the same way as smoked meat and sausages. Place everything in a deep salad bowl, add salt, add mayonnaise and mix thoroughly.

Preparation

Chop the onion into small cubes and cut the champignons into arbitrary pieces. It is better to make them medium size so that they feel good in the salad. Then fry these two ingredients in sunflower oil. Chop the green onions and cut the boiled chicken quarter into small cubes. If the meat had skin, then it is better not to use it, but to remove it first.

When the mushrooms and onions are fried until tender, salt and pepper them according to your own taste preferences. Turn off the heat and let them cool well. At this time, start shredding pickled cucumbers into small cubes, and also grate them onto cheese and eggs on a fine and coarse grater, respectively.

It is more convenient to coat the layers with mayonnaise if you first place it in a pastry bag, and then make a mesh of the desired thickness.

Assemble the salad in layers using a split ring on a large platter: chicken quarter (lightly salt and pepper), fried mushrooms with purple and green onions, pickled cucumbers, grated eggs and cheese. Spread each layer with mayonnaise. Leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Now is the time to prepare an interesting, bright and tasty snack. To do this, pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cut off the blunt side of the eggs and separate the yolks from it, and the whites will serve as boletus caps. Remove the yolk from the remaining eggs using a teaspoon.

When the water boils, pour coffee into it, and then put “mushroom caps” into the liquid. It is very important that the mass boils, then the coloring will be uniform. On average, soak the whites for about 3 minutes. Then add mayonnaise and red caviar to the yolks and mix thoroughly.

When you have prepared the appetizer, remove the salad from the refrigerator and remove the form. Stuff the eggs with the prepared mixture and place them on the free edges of the dish in random order. On the top layer of the main dish, place the inscription “Happy New Year” with pomegranate seeds, and place sprigs of dill around it. It will turn out very beautiful. Place colored caps on the “mushrooms” and place parsley at the stems.
