More Fun with Japanese Egg Molds

And what shape is it this time? Today I found a Hello Kitty egg mold (thanks Jessie!) and literally squeeled with excitement! I posted about using Japanese egg molds last month; if you want to see it, along with pictures, click here.

Hard boil the egg the way you normally would. I put it on the stove and when the water starts to boil I pull them off the heat and let them sit for 11 minutes. After that I put it in a bowl of cold water to help the peeling process.

The egg has to go into the egg mold while warm, and then into cold water once in the mold. So I peeled the egg, put it in warm water, into the mold, into a bowl of ice water, and about 20 minutes later I pulled it out and hoped for the best. She came out all right; next time I'll use a smaller egg. But so many details...she's even got whiskers!

Kissy LOVES her "Hello Kitty eggs". If you have the time (or the patience) you can also just use a toothpick and some food coloring and color her eyes, nose and bow too. She comes out SUPER cute.

Where do you get your egg molds? I'm hosting a baby shower in mid-July and we are serving deviled eggs and got a crazy hair to make them with molded eggs. Thanks in advance for the help.
