Egg Sailboats

Two great things about this recipe -
you get to play with your food and then have a tasty snack!

Ingredients for 2 servings (sailboats):

1 hard-cooked egg, peeled
1 slice processed cheese
2 straight pretzels

Equipment kit:

  • knife
  • cutting board

Directions:

With adult supervision...

1. Hard-cook eggs and peel (see Hard-Cooked Egg recipe for directions).
2. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. If necessary, trim a little egg white from the bottom of each egg half so that the sailboats sit flat.
3. Slice cheese in half diagonally (to make two triangles).
4. For each sailboat, use a pretzel and cheese triangle to make a mast and sail. Carefully making two small cuts in the cheese with a knife will help. (Note: you may need to trim the cheese sail.)
