I need some advice anons. One element of my dish is tea-stained eggs. The idea is that you boil eggs to desired done-ness, crack the shells all over and sit overnight in a strong tea solution.
I just peeled my eggs, and they were beautifully stained with weblike patterns. Until I broke the this membrane just under the shell. The staining had barely penetrated underneath.
I wanted to submit today, but I don't want to post anything without the eggs.
So do I try again, leaving the eggs for longer in the solution? Do I leave the membrane intact?
Pic related is my current, very subtly stained eggs.
