10.11.13 World Egg Day - Fish lunch

World egg day started for little S with egg in a window toast. I used a fish cookie cutter to cut a window in the bread and then fried it in butter and added scrambled egg. Normally these are made by cracking an egg into the hole then cooking until the egg is to your liking and the bread is toasty but little S doesn't like his eggs fried so it ends up more like french toast for him.

At the same time I was making his breakfast I was boiling eggs for lunch. Later I used the fish egg to put his lunch together. 

Main Compartment:

Ham fish- a single slice of white bread flattened down and cut with two fish cookie cutters. Two slices of black forest ham were cut with the same cookie cutter and placed on top of the fish bread. Each was given a sugar eye. 

Fish Egg- once the egg was released from the mold it was given a sugar eye and placed in the box.

How to use an egg mold:

Spin a few raw eggs and place the eggs into a pot of cold water and bring to a boil, When the water begins to boil carefully spin the eggs so that the yoke is centered. Boil for eight minutes and then drain out the hot water replacing it with cold. Under cold running water peel the egg as fast as possible. Run the egg mold under the water to just get it a little wet it helps getting the egg out later. Put your egg into the mold and press firmly. Latch the mold closed and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the eggs from cooking. Leave the mold in the cold water for a minimum of fifteen minutes the longer the better. The mold works best with a large or extra large egg.
