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:
- Cook 4 extra-large eggs
- Dip one egg in a bowl of ice water, then peel off the shell
- Place egg in a mold
- Set in ice water
- Repeat for the other 3 eggs
- 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
