Having made a delicious and beautiful salad, I want to serve it on the table, not just serving it in a wonderful dish, but also decorating it in a special way. When there are only simple products at home, you can make a very delicate and beautiful decoration in the shape of a swan from a boiled egg. Such a swan can be used to decorate a salad sprinkled with herbs, or aspic. Or a swan can be a wonderful and entertaining kid's breakfast.
It is necessary
- - 2 eggs;
- - carrot;
- - olive.
Instructions
Step 1
To cook one swan, you need two chicken eggs. It is better to take eggs fresh from the store. Wash the eggs, pour cold water into a small saucepan, lower the eggs and place them on the stove. As soon as the water boils, count on the timer or clock for seven minutes. When time has passed, remove the saucepan from the stove, gently drain the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water. Let them stand like this for fifteen minutes, so they cool down and are easy to clean.
Step 2
Peel the boiled eggs. Leave one egg intact. At the second egg with a sharp knife, cut an oval from each side, these will be the wings. Place the ovals on a wooden cutting board and use the tip of a knife to make teeth on three sides of the oval, the smaller the more beautiful. Then cut a circle out of the middle of the egg, remove the middle from the yolk and carefully use a sharp knife to give the resulting ring to the swan neck fort.
Step 3
Carefully cut an even thin layer from one side of the first egg to keep it stable. Make slits on the sides for the wings and insert the blanks. Decorate the neck blank with a thin piece of carrot. Make small eyes out of the olive and attach them with a toothpick. Cut out the tail from the remaining piece and complete the swan by connecting the parts. It is better to keep the finished figurine in the refrigerator and decorate the dish with it before serving.
