Heart-Boiled Egg

February 24, 2011 By radmegan 6 Comments


Yesterday, a friend of mine sent me an image he’d found online* of a heart-shaped egg. It was so cute I had to figure out how to make my own. When I made my camping-inspired bento boxes, I mentioned that I was totally in awe of AnnaTheRed‘s bento creations. She has an egg-molding demonstration that I’ve always admired, but until I saw the heart-shaped egg, I didn’t think I could really make this on my own. As it turns out, shaping hard-boiled eggs is pretty easy!

I started by washing out a paper milk carton. I cut the carton along the seams and laid it flat. Then I cut it in wide strips that I folded in half. After boiling my eggs and rinsing them in cold water, I peeled off the shells, and placed one egg gently inside the folded strip of carton.

I attached a chopstick to one end of the milk carton with rubber bands, and gently laid it down atop the egg so that it pressed into the white. I attached the opposite end of the chopstick with more rubber-bands and put the eggs in the refrigerator to set for about 15 minutes.

I was so excited to see my first heart-boiled eggs! I made some toast with a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and breakfast was served!

This was my first time shaping eggs, and on the whole, I would say that it was successful. I look forward to trying the shapes that AnnaTheRed teaches on her site now that I’ve tried the heart! If you have picky eaters at home, or are just looking for a way to add some fun to your plate, try shaping your own heart-boiled eggs!



* EDIT: Turns out the inspiration image my friend sent me (from Reddit), WAS a pic of a heart-shapped eggs that AnnaTheRed herself had created and just not posted online yet! Awkward…. since I love her and would never want to steal her idea! Just so you know, her full egg post is up here, and her hearts are way cuter than mine!

    Haha, this is awesome. It reminds me of heart in a hole that James made me once.
