Pink Bunny Egg Bento

TinySprite's two-tiered bento holds smoked salmon and cream cheese bread rollups on sweet potato bread. To make bread rollups, it's best to use soft bread. I remove the crusts, which I don't usually do, but it looks much neater this way. You can save the crusts for another use (like mac and cheese). Flatten the bread with a rolling pin, then spread the cream cheese, layer the salmon, and simply roll up tightly. Cut into bento-size pieces, and pack snugly so they don't unroll. I added a piece of steamed broccoli and a hard-boiled beet-dyed bunny-molded egg. The upper tier contains strawberry, carrots, cucumbers, nectarines and Okinawan sweet potatoes. Easy!

  10. Thanks Nami, and thanks for the invite to Bento Banter. Appreciate it, and your nice comments as always :)
    Thank you tatabonita. I love this circus-y fabric too :)
    Thanks Heather. I love salmon, and try to make it once a week if I can find it.
    Thanks Natakiya :)
    MommyUnglued and Big Momma: I steamed red beetroot, then added to a small amount of water in a glass dish.The red dye from the beet will color the water. You can soak the hard-boiled egg in the dye for a couple of hours or until it turns the shade of pink that you like. Hope that helps :)
