A piece of cardboard cut from a stock, juice or milk carton approx 7.5cm by 19cm (3in by 7.5in) (folded in half lengthwise.)
A round shaped chopstick
Two elastic bands

Hard boil your egg. *SEE NOTE 1
Remove the shells while still warm and place the egg in the centre of the cardboard along the fold.
Place the chopstick along the top of the egg to form an indentation and secure with rubber bands at each end of the cardboard cradle.
Leave for a minimum of ten minutes in the fridge. Remove from carboard cradle and then slice eggs in half to reveal the heart shape

I use an egg machine to do this but you can place the egg in a pan and cover with water, bring to the boil and then remove from the heat and allow the egg to sit off the heat for 10 mins.
