Cut off the tops, 5 egg yolks and the remaining 2 eggs three on a fine grater. The mass of grated add chopped herbs, salt and mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise add a little to out of the mix could dazzle the dragon's head.
The resulting mass fill 5 eggs. From the remnants of the mass sculpt 5 ovals. The oval should not be too large, otherwise the head will be bad stick on body. In the area of the eyes make small depressions. We fasten our ovals to the eggs. The basis of our ready meals, Dragon already seen, you can now start decorating.
From red bell pepper cut out tongues and "crest" of our Dragon.
From parsley cut out five circles with a diameter of about 7 millimeters (depending on the size of your dragon's head). We cut them in half. This is blank for the eyes. Lepim our eyes to the head, and on top of doing the pupils and nostrils of small pieces of olives.
