Create vibrant and glossy marbled eggs for Easter using natural dyes and a simple boiling method.
Peel the outer skins from the onions and set them aside.
Using a mix of red and yellow onion skins creates a more vibrant color palette.
Wrap the onion skins around each egg, covering them partially or fully.
Secure the skins with string to keep them in place during boiling.
Encase the wrapped eggs in aluminium foil or tie them with string.
Ensure the wrapping is tight to achieve a clear marbled effect.
Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Add beetroot slices and spinach leaves for additional colors.
Using natural ingredients for dyeing is eco-friendly and safe.
Boil the eggs for 7 minutes, then remove from heat and let them cool in the water.
Cooling the eggs in the dye water enhances the color intensity.
Unwrap the eggs and polish them with butter for a glossy finish.
Polishing with butter not only adds shine but also deepens the colors.
Arrange the marbled eggs in a basket or on a plate for serving or decoration.
Use a decorative basket lined with cloth for a festive presentation.
