  3. 3Fill 2 of the egg molds with the pink butter about halfway, making a well in the center with a spoon.

  10. 10Divide the remaining butter into 2 bowls.
  11. 11To one bowl, add the fig jam and a pinch of flaky salt, and mix loosely to create fig butter.
  12. 12To the other bowl, add chives, flaky salt, and lemon zest, and mix well to create chive lemon zest butter.
  13. 13Fill the wells of the eggs with the compound butters: use chive lemon zest butter on the radish and chive blossom eggs.
  14. 14Use fig butter on the pink and edible flower eggs.
  15. 15Let the filled eggs set in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  16. 16Top the eggs with the remaining softened butter, applying pink butter to the pink egg.
