Hip To Be Square!

This Saturday I was bumming around my local haunts on a search for vinyl when I came across this!

  
Need I say more?

Hit it Huey!



Sunday morning I burst out of bed, and ran down stairs to boil eggs.  A glimpse into my microwave "reminded" me that my sheep sleep mask was still a skewed on my forehead. {Although an eye mask is not crucial to the success of square egg making, it is quite comforting.}

Step #1

Chill egg cuber.


Step #2

Boil eggs.


A little trick: A wooden spoon prevents overflow.
 

Step #3

Cool eggs in cold water to make them easier to peel.  On the little instruction sheet they showed how you can beautify the top of the egg by decorating the lower plate.  I decided to try shredded cheese and thinly sliced vegetables & herbs (the asparagus tips were too heavy).





 Step #4

Place decorative edibles on bottom plate and spray cuber with non-stick cooking spray.





Step #5

Peel egg and gently drop medium/hard boiled egg into cuber.




 Step #6

Place top plate on egg and screw the lid down tightly.




Step #7

Wait.
 
Let it set a couple minutes (which I didn't have the patience for so they ended up more cubed than squared and my toppings didn't stick very well).




 Step #8

Plate, slice and serve.


I chose my "new" decopage plate I found at the same little shop.




If you are in such a rush to try square eggs that you don't have time to scan the pictures above and read the captions, trust me I understand! 

For you my friend I have attached a one minute square egg clip set to music.



 


  If you are the type of person that needs way more information, possibly even a mini documentary on the process, I've got you covered too.
