Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ½ carrot
  • black edible food writer pen
  • handful green grapes
  • 5 sugar snap peas
  • Small handful fresh blueberries
  • 2 slices wholemeal bread
  • butter or spread
  • 1 slice cheese
  • 1 to rtilla wrap
  • orange edible food writer pen

Instructions

  • First make the boiled egg hen. Place the egg in a small saucepan of water, bring to the boil then cook for 6-7 minutes. Once the egg is cooked, immediately transfer it to cold water, then peel once cool.
  • Cut a thin round from the thick end of the carrot. Using a mini hand-shaped cutter (or a mini flower cutter would work to), cut out a piece of carrot for the hen's comb and trim it into shape with a knife (see video for more detail). Cut a small triangle of carrot for the beak.
  • Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut a slit in the top of the egg then push the carrot comb into place. Add the carrot beak in the same way, then dot on two eyes using a black edible food writer pen.
  • Using a julienne peeler, cut the remaining carrot into thin straw-like strips to make an edible nest for the egg hen.  If you don’t have a julienne peeler, you can also use a sharp knife to cut the carrot into really thin strips or grate the carrot instead.
  • Arrange the carrot strips in a small compartment of the lunch box to form a nest. Pop the egg hen on top.
  • Slice the grapes in half length-ways. Place them in the second small lunchbox compartment along with the sugar snap peas, arranged to look like grass. Add 3 chick bento picks to decorate.
  • Fill the smallest compartment with blueberries.
  • Use the two pieces of bread to make a sandwich. I filled mine with cheese but you can use any sandwich filling of your choice.
  • Cut the sandwich into a neat rectangle that will easily fit in the lunch box. Place the sandwich on top of the tortilla wrap, then cut around it so you have a rectangle of wrap the same size as the sandwich.
  • Using black and orange edible food writer pens, draw the Big Bad Fox on the rectangle of tortilla wrap.
  • Place the sandwich in the lunch box with the decorated tortilla wrap on top.
