EASTER EGG MUFFINS

These Easter egg muffins are a fun and creative way to use up hard-boiled eggs. The eggs are nestled into a muffin tin and baked with a variety of fillings such as bacon, cheese, and vegetables, making for a tasty and portable breakfast or snack option.
Ingredients:
12 eggs
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
Food coloring or natural dyes
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 cup of boiling water
Optional: stickers, markers, or other decorating materials
Step 1: Boil the eggs
The first step in making Easter eggs is boiling the eggs. Place 12 eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the water - this helps the eggshells to stay intact and makes them easier to peel.
Step 2: Cool and peel the eggs
Once the eggs are done boiling, remove them from the hot water and place them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes to cool down. This will also make it easier to peel off the shells. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then carefully peel off the shell. The eggs should be firm but not too hard, so be gentle to avoid breaking them.
Step 3: Prepare the dye
You can use either food coloring or natural dyes to color your Easter eggs. If using food coloring, mix 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil with a few drops of food coloring in a small bowl. For natural dyes, you can use ingredients like beets, turmeric, or blueberries to create different colors. Place 1 cup of boiling water in a small bowl and add the natural dye ingredient of your choice. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the water with color.
Step 4: Dye the eggs
Now comes the fun part - dyeing the eggs! Using tongs or a spoon, carefully dip each egg into the dye mixture and let it sit for a few minutes. The longer you leave the egg in the dye, the more vibrant the color will be. You can also experiment with different dye combinations to create unique colors.
Step 5: Decorate the eggs
Once the eggs are dry, you can get creative and decorate them with stickers, markers, or other materials. You can also use wax to create intricate designs by drawing on the eggs before dyeing them. Let your imagination run wild and have fun with it!
Now that you have your own homemade Easter eggs, you can use them as decorations or enjoy them as a tasty snack. Get the whole family involved and make it a fun and memorable Easter tradition. Happy egg decorating!
