I forgot to mention about quail eggs. To cook them, I hard boil them for 3 mins only, then place them in iced water. They are more delicate than regular eggs. Break easily and shell does not come off as easily, but not a problem all the same. Full of flavor, and so cute on top!

Fantastic photos, as always. I just love eggs, such a fantastic ingredient. I too have wanted to try Pille’s eggs, they look marvellous.

Many thanks everyone for your nice words. I really enjoy hearing your egg stories too. And yes, I knew about the Chinese tea infused eggs too. But I loved the idea of beets, just because I am a real sucker for beets — and reed — under all its forms

I’m flattered, Bea! Thank you so much for the link love, and I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your marbled beetroot eggs (to Kat, who mentioned Chinese tea eggs above - that’s exactly where I got the inspiration from:)

Beautiful story, beautiful photos, as always. Regarding egg consumption, you really don’t have to worry. It turns out that the lecithin in eggs actually prevents the absorption of cholesterol. So for most people, eating one or two eggs a day is not a problem.
