Complexity Level: Easy (Adult assistance may be needed for boiling eggs)

---

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs (to create the perfect ladybug body)
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (for a creamy twist!)
• 1 teaspoon mustard (for a zesty zing!)
• Salt and pepper (just a pinch of each)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (to keep things egg-cellent!)
• Olive slices (for those adorable ladybug spots)
• Red bell pepper (cut into tiny pieces for that classic ladybug shell)
• A sprinkle of love (also known as "fun", and it’s an ingredient you can’t find at the store!)

Instructions:

1. Egg-citing Preparation!

Start by boiling your eggs! Place the eggs in cold water, cover them, and bring them to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer them to an ice bath (that’s cold water with ice—just like a ladybug retreat!). Let them cool for a bit.

Safety Tip: This step may need an adult's help!

2. Peel and Pop!

Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on the counter to crack the shells and peel them carefully. Put your now-peel-less eggs on a cutting board and cut them in half long-wise. Scoop out the yolks into a bowl to prepare the ladybug filling!

3. Blend It Beautiful!

In the bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all up! You want it smooth and creamy, like a bug sliding on a leaf!

4. Ladybug Assembly Time!

Take a spoon and fill the empty egg whites with your delicious yolk mixture. Make sure to mound it up—it’s got to look like a cozy ladybug home!

5. Decorate Like a Pro!

Now, for the fun part! Use your red bell pepper pieces to create the ladybug’s shell on top of the filling. Next, add olive slices for spots and eyes. Have fun, and remember: every ladybug is unique, so let your creativity fly!

Fun Bug Fact:

Did you know that ladybugs are known for their bright red shells, which help warn predators that they taste bad? No need to fear, though—our ladybug eggs are scrum-delicious!

Final Touch:

To make them extra fancy, you can place them on a leaf-shaped platter or add some green garnish around them for a garden vibe.
