Boiled egg in the shape of a heart. How to boil an egg so that it is in the shape of a heart? Surprise your loved one

1. cardboard rectangle (6x10 cm)
2. Chinese chopstick
3. boiled egg
4. two rubber bands

Boil the egg for 10 minutes, then place in cold water. But do not cool the egg too much - it must be warm, otherwise the white will crack. The cardboard should not be very strong - you will fold it in half.

However, ordinary paper is not suitable for this - it is thanks to cardboard that your egg will take on an elongated shape.

How to make a heart from a boiled egg

Fold the cardboard in half so that you have a narrow triangle. Peel the egg. Unfold the cardboard and place the egg in the middle.

Place an elastic band on one edge and secure it - it should hold the cardboard well.

Place a chopstick on the egg and press it with a rubber band. Place the second rubber band on the cardboard and secure it.

Let the egg sit for five minutes or until cool. Carefully remove the rubber bands, remove the cardboard and the Chinese chopstick. You've got a heart-shaped egg! Now all that’s left is to cut it and put it on toast or in a salad.

This year February 14th falls on a Saturday. February 14 is the day of all lovers, Valentine's Day! Many people scold this “bourgeois” and “not our” holiday, but millions of girls and boys prepare pleasant surprises for their significant other - cards, souvenirs in the shape of a heart or with “love” symbols, a romantic date or a candlelit dinner. No matter how snobs snort, every person on this day is waiting for a big miracle, well, at least an anonymous valentine. And since this love day will come on a day off, you can give gifts and surprises right in the morning)))
Why not turn an ordinary breakfast into a romantic one?

What do people usually eat for breakfast? Porridge, toast with jam, coffee, milk or orange juice, for me it’s either a sandwich or scrambled eggs. If you’re tired of both, then just boiled eggs and vegetables in the form of a salad. What could be simpler? It's nourishing, beautiful and tasty.
Chop vegetables, hard boil eggs, add salt and oil - can everyone do this?

But especially for Valentine’s Day, you can do one interesting thing with chicken eggs - there’s more than enough romanticism and cuteness))
The white of a freshly boiled egg is very plastic and pliable, and after cooling it “remembers” the shape it was given.
There are even special molds - a boiled egg is placed inside, closed and voila - the funny figurine is ready. The little snotty little bastards will appreciate it!)))
The photo was found on the Internet, and the molds themselves can be found in online stores.

But there is a perfectly homemade option - make a heart from an egg using improvised means. To do this you will need hot boiled eggs - they need to be peeled - this is a little difficult to do, because... both the shell and the white burn your fingers, but the operation is quite doable if you hold the egg with a napkin.
The hotter the egg, the more plastic it is and the faster it will take the desired shape. And it is absolutely not true that a hot egg is difficult to peel - if it really does not want to part with the shell, then you are lucky - the eggs are perfectly fresh!
What else is needed - a sushi stick or a wooden skewer, twine or thick threads, thick cardboard - it is better to use a milk bag - it is smooth inside and the egg does not stick.

Fold the cardboard in half and measure it to the size of the egg; it should protrude slightly above the edge of the cardboard.
We put a stick on top and tie it to the cardboard. We do the same with the second end. Since the egg protrudes above the cardboard, the stick is pressed into the white.
We leave these strange structures until they cool completely (the process can be speeded up by placing the blanks in the refrigerator or in ice water).

Once it has cooled down, we disassemble it and get this result:

You can cut it in half into two pieces, or make several slices, eat it simply sprinkled with salt or add vegetables - the perfect salad!

Well, a few not my ideas with a “heartfelt” theme:
You can make breakfast from an egg and sausage like this (to be honest, I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know what will happen in the “expectation/reality” pair):

There are also molds and even a special frying pan for eggs.
