Instruction manual
1
Wash fresh eggs thoroughly, preferably with soap, rinse and dry. Carefully from a blunt side, make a small hole in each about 1-2 cm in diameter. Pour the contents of the eggs into a container with a lid. Use part for this recipe, and the rest when cooking other dishes. Dry the shell thoroughly from the inside. It will serve you as a form for aspic.

Take gelatin and soak it for 10 minutes in a small amount of warm water. Then heat over low heat until completely dissolved, but do not bring to a boil. After that, mix it with the broth and strain.

Wash the Bulgarian pepper, clear of seeds, cut into beautiful small cubes. Also chop the ham. Cook three hard-boiled eggs in a hard-boiled water bath, chop finely. Open a can of corn and drain all the water. Arrange the ingredients in different containers without mixing.

In each shell, drop a few (2-3) parsley leaves, then lay out all the ingredients in layers: pepper, eggs, ham, corn. Pour in the broth and refrigerate until completely frozen. When the jellied “eggs” have completely hardened, carefully peel the shell off them.
