How to Make Marbled Eggs

  1. Hard-boil 6-12 eggs until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, gently roll each egg on a hard surface (like a countertop) to create cracks in the shell. Try not to break the membrane underneath.
  3. Aim for a pleasingly cracked, marbled effect without completely shattering the shell.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water with 10-15 drops of your favorite food coloring (or mix colors for a unique effect!).
  5. Gently place the cracked eggs into the colored water, ensuring they are fully submerged. Simmer over low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the desired color intensity is achieved.
  6. Carefully remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to cool and dry completely.
  7. (Optional) Make these into gorgeous deviled eggs for an extra special touch!
