4 Fun & Creative Egg Recipes
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 5 oz red cabbage
- 1 lemon
- 6 eggs
- 2 black tea bags
- 5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 star anise pieces
- 1 tsp peppercorn
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites
- 1 egg
- 1 milk carton, clean and empty
- 1 round straw
- 2 rubber bands
Instructions
- Put the red cabbage in a sieve and use a spoon to push out the liquid into a bowl. Set the bowl with the liquid aside. Separate an egg and put the egg white into a bowl. Set the egg yolk aside for now. Add a spoonful of the red cabbage juice to the egg whites and stir well for a purple liquid. Separate another egg and add some red cabbage juice to the egg whites as well. Add the juice of half a lemon and stir it all together for a blue liquid. Heat a pan and add some oil. Place both colored mixes side by side in the pan, place one egg yolk in the middle of each section, and cook for 4 minutes.
- Boil water in a pot and add the 6 eggs. After 3 minutes, take the eggs out, dunk them in ice water, and gently tap them with a teaspoon. Add the peppercorns, cinnamon, sugar, star anise, and tea bags to the same water the eggs were cooked in. Place the eggs in the mixture and let them steep for 2 hours. Add more water as needed from time to time to ensure that the eggs are fully submerged. You're in for a real treat when you finally peel the eggs!
- Separate 4 eggs and stir the egg yolks. Pour the stirred egg yolks into one squeeze bottle, and the egg whites into another. Squirt the bottles in a swirl design as shown in the video into a preheated, greased pan. Evenly cook both sides for a swirly breakfast adventure!
- Cut a milk carton as shown in the video. Cook an egg for 10 minutes and peel off the shell. Lay the egg lengthwise in the cut milk carton and gently push a round straw or chopstick down on the top. Fix the stick in place with 2 rubber bands and refrigerate for 1 hour. The pressure from the stick with push down on the top of the egg and the yolk inside, thus creating a heart shape.
