• HOT PROCESS EGG DYING:.
• This method involves boiling the eggs in water with the natural colorant.
• The heat forces the color into the porous egg shell and allows the dye to saturate it thoroughly.
• This gives a really intense and completely uniform color to the shells.
• Vinegar fixes the color.
• Vinegar can"morph" certain colors, such as berries and herbs.
• Place raw eggs in a pot of strained dye; bring to a boil and allow eggs to cook in the dye-water for the amount of time required to get the color you want, up to 20 minutes.
• You can allow the eggs to sit in the dye water off the heat for as long as you wish, but place the eggs and dye-water in the refrigerator.
• Remove eggs, pat dry with paper towel and allow to thoroughly air dry on a drying rack.
• COLD PROCESS EGG DYING:.
• This is the method I use most with my kids.
• First, we boil our white eggs, remove from water and set aside to cool.
• With the slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the bowl of strained dye and allow to soak for 20 mins to overnight, til you reach the color intensity desired.
• Follow drying technique for hot process egg dyeing, above.

ELEGANT EGGS

Steps:

• Combine the beaten eggs, milk, hot sauce, and spices. Set aside.
• Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and melt butter.
• Add onion and scatter. Saute, stirring occassionally, to allow the onion to carmelize.
• When onion is browned to your liking, scatter it evenly around the skillet and lower heat to medium.
• Add the egg mixture to hot skillet. It will set quickly from the heat, but resist the temptation to move it around.
• After 1-2 minutes, push the cooked egg to one side, allowing the wet egg to run onto the hot skillet. Continue this on alternating sides of the pan until you've got a neat little pillow of browned, oniony, delicious scrambled eggs that are set to your liking.
• NOTE: Or, if you're not anal-rententive like me, scramble the eggs however you like and enjoy. It won't be as attractive, but will be just as tasty.
