Main Ingredients: Powdered Sugar, Large Eggs, Pure Vanilla Extract
Take a trip to Italy with this traditional Italian Easter pie. This savory dish is filled with a mixture of cheeses, meats, and eggs, making it a hearty and delicious addition to your Easter dinner.
Preparing the Eggs
To start, you will need to gather your materials. For this recipe, you will need hard-boiled eggs, white vinegar, food coloring, and vegetable oil. Place your eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Add a splash of white vinegar to the water, which will help the food coloring adhere to the eggshells. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 12 minutes. Once done, remove the eggs from the pot and let them cool before handling.
Creating the Marbled Effect
Once your eggs are cooled, it's time to create the marbled effect. Fill a container with about an inch of water and add a few drops of food coloring. You can use any colors you like, but pastel shades work best for an Easter theme. Next, add a few drops of vegetable oil to the water and use a toothpick to swirl the colors and oil together. The oil will create a marbled effect on the surface of the water.
Dyeing the Eggs
Gently place your cooled eggs into the water, making sure they are fully submerged. Let the eggs sit for a few minutes, rotating them to ensure they are evenly coated. The longer you leave the eggs in the water, the deeper the color will be. Once you are happy with the color, remove the eggs from the water and let them dry on a paper towel.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Once your eggs are completely dry, you can add some extra decoration. You can use a white paint marker to draw intricate designs on the eggs or use stickers or decals for a more effortless approach. You can also use glitter or metallic paint to add some shimmer to your eggs. Get creative and have fun with it!
