Chinese Marbled Eggs

In another in my series on using those leftover eggs from easter, here comes a very interesting recipe that TheWife and I tried out. As you can see from the picture, the eggs turne out a very interesting color when finished. We recorded the making of these eggs, which we will play on the upcoming episode of The Men in Aprons Show. While you're at it, go check out our Meat Pirogue, which is another use for hard-boiled eggs.

Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 TBSP Dark tea leaves or 4 tea bags
- 2 TBSP soy sauce
- 2 1/2 cups water

With the back of a spoon, crack the eggs all over but DO NOT REMOVE THE SHELLS.

Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add the tea leaves or tea bags and simmer them for 5 minutes. The tea should be extremely dark. Remove from heat and stir in the soy sauce. Gently place the eggs in the liquid and set aside for at least 1 hour to soak. I think it could go to 1.5 hours.

Remove eggs, peel and eat.
