Onion Skin Dyed Eggs
Instructions
Prepare the stocks by cutting them into 5-inch squares. Creatively place herbs and flowers on each egg, sealing your herb or flower with a drop of water. Gently place each egg into the stocking and tie it at the end.
Add the onion skins (+ beets if using) and the vinegar to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water one by one and boil for 8 to 10 minutes to your liking.
Allow to cool completely.
At this point, you can remove the eggs from the hot water or you may refrigerate them in the liquid overnight for a deeper color.
Once cool enough to handle transfer each egg to a plate and cut the stocking with a pair of scissors. Discard the herbs and pat them dry with a paper towel. For extra shine, you may rub them with a little Best Choice olive oil or coconut oil.
Quick tip to hard-boiled eggs:
Preheat oven to 325° F. Place each egg in the mold of a muffin tin, to ensure they don’t roll around too much. Bake for 20 minutes.
