Have you ever heard of Daisy Eggs? This post will show you how to make a boring hard boiled egg into a piece of art, food art! These are the perfect addition to a Summer charcuterie board, or adding a few of these atop a potato or macaroni salad would definitely bring a Summer staple to the next level! So if you want to WOW your guests, boil up some eggs and let’s get started…

I mean, could eggs possibly be any cuter?

Start by laying out a piece of plastic wrap 15 inches long on a table, with the plastic wrap the long way place 5 wood skewers an inch apart on top of it

Then place 2 peeled, hard boiled eggs in the middle of the plastic wrap at the end closest to you

Slowly roll them upwards into the plastic wrap keeping the skewers apart from each other as best you can, this is what will make the grooves, making sure the roll is snug as you move towards the end

When you get to the top (end) place place elastic bands tightly at each end and in the middle of the two eggs as shown, refrigerate the roll for a day or two, unroll and slice. I added scallion strips for the stems

This video shows the process from start to finish, I hope you make these for your next Summer gathering!
