Egg Flowers

Kids can create their very own edible garden with flowers made of hard-boiled eggs, cheese and their favourite fruits and veggies—perfect for a snack or to serve at a backyard picnic.

Ingredients

2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1 small cucumber, cut into 10 slices
1 one-inch (2.5cm) piece of string cheese
2 cherry tomatoes
1 tsp (5 mL) low-calorie Ranch salad dressing or your favourite dressing or dip
1 one-inch piece of yellow sweet pepper, cut into strips
1 three-inch (8 cm) piece of celery, cut into 3 strips
1 three-inch (8 cm) long and 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide strip of green pepper, cut into 2 leaf shapes
2 broccoli florets
2 tsp (10 mL) prepared hummus (or additional Ranch salad dressing)
1 tbsp (15 mL) sprouts

Directions

1. Use an egg slicer to cut the hard-cooked eggs into even slices quickly and easily.

2. Place the slices on a plate or platter in a circle to form flowers.

3. Add sliced cucumber to create additional flower petals. Use string cheese, sprouts, cucumber, cherry tomatoes or sweet peppers and veggie dip or hummus as the centre of the flowers.

4. Add celery sticks for the flower stems and green peppers and broccoli for the leaves. At the base of the flowers, place a dollop of your child’s favorite dip or hummus and sprinkle with sprouts to resemble grass.
