Cooking Tips for Perfect Sparkling Eggs

  • Choose fresh white eggs: Fresh eggs work best, as they absorb the wine mixture more evenly and give the most dramatic sparkling effect.
  • Allow enough soaking time: For the best glittering results, soak the eggs in the wine and sugar mixture for at least 10 hours.
  • Use quality sweet red wine: Opt for a sweet red wine, as it enhances the glittering effect and complements the brown sugar.
  • Dry thoroughly: After soaking, dry your eggs well on paper towels to avoid excess moisture that can dull the sparkling effect.
  • Storage: Store Sparkling Eggs in the fridge for up to 1 week in an airtight container, just like regular boiled eggs.
