Procedure:
- Smear the egg moulds with a drop of sunflower oil on the inside.
- Temper the chocolate (a method of heating or cooling chocolate for moulding or coating other foods). Break the chocolate and melt carefully into a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Afterwards, take the chocolate off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Pour choclate into each mould and leave the chocolate to set in.
- When the egg has set, remove each half carefully from its mould. Stick the two halves together using some more melted chocolate and leave to set somewhere cool.
- Gently press the top and bottom of the mould, one side at a time, to release the egg.
