Ingredients
- 4 eggs hard boiled and cooled
- 1 tablespoon vinegar optional, in the boiling water for easier peeling
Instructions
- Boil eggs and transfer to an ice bath. Once eggs are cool, peel them carefully.
- Then using a sharp knife start making zig-zag incisions around the circumference by piercing through the egg at an angle.
- Once its done all the way around the egg's circumference, gently separate the two halves to reveal the zig-zag edges.
Rekha's Notes
- Boil the eggs for 8 minutes after the water comes to a boil, so the yolk is fully set.
- For shells that come off easily, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the boiling water and cool the eggs in an ice bath.
- Go slow and easy with the knife. Do not push it too deep or the egg will break.
- Each egg makes two flowers.
