Onion Skin and Tea Infused Eggs

These are great for Passover or a gourmet picnic. A Middle Eastern inspiration and a conversation piece just because they look so unique, these boldly, flavored hard cooked eggs are simmered in onion skins, and tea leaves. The flavor is great but the beautiful mosaic of design that results on the egg white packaging is what sells this beauty. Serve with cheese and bread, or cold side salads. If you prefer a pinkish hued egg, check out my recipe for Pickled Eggs.
