Easter Fools
By Steph Hung
On April 1st treat your loved ones to a simple homemade breakfast. There is nothing like a soft-boiled egg with a few pieces of bread to dip in the yolk.
Only this time there’s something a little special about the eggs:
Looks like the Easter Bunny decided to make an early delivery.
Materials you will need: Eggs, powdered gelatin, egg cups (look for opaque cups or else the gig may be up), spoon, bowls, and a measuring cup.
Step 1: Use the spoon to crack the bottom of the egg.
Step 2: Carefully remove a small part of the shell, and empty contents into a bowl*. Place the shell immediately into a bowl of hot soapy water. After all the eggs are empty, thoroughly rinse the shells.
Step 3: Prepare the gelatin – Mix each 85g box with just 1/2 cup of boiling water so the jelly will hold up when the eggshells are peeled. Each box will fill 3-4 extra large eggs.
Step 4: Allow jelly to set in the fridge for a few hours. Take eggs out 20 minutes before serving so the temperature doesn’t give them away.
(*Make a quiche with the leftover eggs and you’ll REALLY impress your guests)
Happy April Fools Day!

This is awesome, especially for little kids who don’t eat eggs, but who probably eat jello. Great idea:)
hahaha. This is the perfect idea April’s fool. So playing this trick on my family!
Such a cute idea! I bet your kids went crazy over this breakfast.
This is such a cute idea! As someone with an April Fool birthday (and has seen almost every trick under the sun), I approve this one!
What a clever idea. If only my husband would eat soft boiled eggs….
These eggs look so cute and I love the jewel-like colours! Thanks for sharing! Amy Xxx
So cute! I love the Easter/April Fools combo!!
Very clever! As a child I would have loved to have come across a Jello egg instead of a real one. It would have made my Easter utterly complete as I didn’t really have very much use for hard-boiled anything at the time.
Hah!
This is a great idea. Must try this.
Yum!
such a inventive idea!
clever clogs!

[...] Take 4-6 medium raw eggs. Carefully make a ¼ inch hole in one end of each egg using a sharp needle. Empty contents of egg and rinse shell well, let stand in egg box to dry for 24 hours. Once dry, prepare jelly according to instructions on box, leave to cool for 10-15 mins. Carefully pour the liquid jelly into eggs and leave to stand, hole-side-up in the refrigerator to set. Crack, peel and enjoy! More in detail with lots of pictures here. [...]

Quick question- is it just the 1/2 cup boiling water or do I add cold water as well?
how about, for adults only, you add some alcohol and make tequila jelly eggs…not sure if they would make the best breakfast though !
This is great, When I saw the picture, I wondered How the hell did you do this.. And it!s so easy ! Tanks for this !
