Inspired by the playful works of art in Japanese character bento boxes, Williams-Sonoma sells a product that changes the shape of a hard-boiled egg!  I was fascinated with the idea of this product when I spotted it at the store…and, with Easter quickly approaching, I knew I had to try it out!  I am sharing the adorable results with you on today’s Friday field trip.

Following the easy directions on the box of the Egg-Design Molds, I set out to create a heart, a star, a rabbit, and a bear from some hard boiled eggs.

My true interest was in the rabbit (for Easter), but I also wanted to test the star to use for deviled eggs later this summer – very patriotic for our 4th of July party on the beach!

Creating these eggs was really easy.  I just followed the simple directions on the box.  Basically:

1. Cook 4 extra-large eggs
2. Dip one egg in a bowl of ice water, then peel off the shell
3. Place egg in a mold
4. Set in ice water
5. Repeat for the other 3 eggs
6. After 10 minutes, remove from molds

Aren’t these sure to be a hit at the ‘kids’ table on Easter?

These molds can be purchased on sale online here.  Three sets would make a dozen eggs at a time – or, a half dozen star shaped deviled (half) eggs.

Since I tested my deviled eggs, I included the recipe.  I am not a big mayo fan, so my version cuts the mayo with sour cream.  Enjoy!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
