👩🍳 Instructions:

Prepare decorations:

Cut a tiny triangle from a carrot for the beak.

Cut small curved pieces from the carrot or red pepper for the comb (the red part on top of the chicken’s head).

Get 2 sesame seeds or peppercorns for the eyes.

-
Separate the eggs:
-
Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks into different bowls.
-
-
Cook the egg white:
-
Heat a nonstick pan with a little oil or butter on low heat.
-
If you have a chicken-shaped mold, place it in the pan and pour the egg white into it.
-
Cook slowly until the white is fully set (you can cover the pan briefly to help it cook evenly).
-
Gently remove the mold.
-
-
Add the yolk:
-
Place the yolk near the front to represent the chicken’s head (you can use one yolk or a bit of yolk shaped with a spoon).
-
Let it set slightly, or baste it gently with hot oil to cook it to your liking.
-
-
Decorate:
-
Place the carrot beak and comb on the yolk.
-
Use sesame seeds for eyes.
-
Optionally, use a strip of seaweed or spinach for a tail.
-
-
Serve:
-
Carefully lift the egg onto a plate.
-
Serve with toast, greens, or other breakfast sides.

📝 Tips:
-
If you don’t have a mold, you can use a spoon to shape the egg white gently as it cooks.
-
This is great for kids, brunches, or themed breakfasts.
