To Start

1. Separate the large egg.  Place the yolk in a small cup.  Divide the egg white into several small containers, depending upon the number of colors you’d like to use.
2. Using a toothpick add food coloring to each egg white and stir until the color is completely blended.
3. Spray each mold cavity with nonstick spray.
4. Using small food safe paint brushes, paint the bottoms of the cavities with the colored egg white.  You can use the egg yolk for the color yellow, just make sure to mix it before using.
5. While painting the molds, fill the skillet around 1/4-1/3 of the way up with water – around 1/2-3/4 of the height of the molds.  Bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature to low/simmer.
6. Crack an egg into a small cup, and carefully transfer to the mold, trying not to move the colors on the bottom.  Repeat with the remaining eggs/molds.
7. Carefully transfer the mold to the skillet, making sure to center the mold and that the water isn’t too high and overflowing the mold.
8. Immediately cover and simmer for around 2 1/2 minutes for quail eggs and 6-8 minutes for large eggs.  The time will depend on the temperature of the eggs and how well done you’d like them to be.
9. Uncover the skillet and remove the mold to a heat resistant surface.  Allow the eggs to rest for 2-3 minutes.
10. Slowly run the tapered spatula around the edges of the eggs.  If you don’t have a spatula, just jiggle the molds slightly to detach the eggs from the sides.
11. Place a large plate over the mold, and in one motion, flip the mold over onto the plate.  Gently press down on each flower/butterfly to unmold the eggs.
12. Garnish a plate then artistically place the eggs onto the plate.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper or other spices.
13. Serve your egg-static Mom.
