Edible Easter Eggs

Posted by Miss Cellania in Food & Drinks on April 6, 2009 at 9:28 am



There will be a lot of dyed eggs for Easter, but if you’re going to eat them, you usually have to remove the colorful part first. Not so with these eggs! Jayne at Barefoot Kitchen Witch adapted the recipe for Chinese tea eggs to dye the edible parts of hard boiled eggs in bright holiday colors. You can serve them peeled in all their neon glory.

    I remember that from when I was young. ...But back in those days the eggs that looked like that were made by small me and my little sister because we somewhere along the line of painting had cracked the shells... :-)

    I want to try it, but could I just skip the whole tea thing? That makes no sense to me.

    I would be so into this if I actually celebrated Easter. The eggs are pretty.

    @Johhny Cat- The tea is the colouring agent in the Chinese receipts. If you use tea, you can get greenish, several tones of brown and yellow and some reddish colouring.
    So if you want to use different non-tea colours, just boil yor eggs and then put them in hot water with the colours you want. The adding of some salt to the water (just a snuff of it, no more) is still a good idea.

    And make sure you take colouring that is edible instead of poisonous...

    @Evilbeagle- Then you're in luck: You are one of those lucky bastards that can do this the whole year round just as you fancy some nice coloured eggs! The whole rest of us will have to wait till it's Easter again before we can have such lovely eggs... ;-)

    ACK! That's my friend Jayne's site! Woo! People, bookmark Barefoot Kitchen Witch and visit it! She has an incredible sense of humor and her kids are adorable. I'd read it even if we weren't friends ;)
    I'm giddy that she's featured here - she's hit the big time! :D

    That's really cool and beautiful. Too bad I hate hard-boiled eggs. I must have gotten sick on them as a kid and have blocked the memory.

    Foreigner1:

    I'd just like to point out that "The tea is the colouring agent in the Chinese receipts" sounds like code.

    @Johhny Cat- Yeah well with the Chinese still being ...Kapitalist Commie's, you fill in on the dots ... ;-)
