Tips

The instructions above are for creating a marbled effect on your eggs prior to planting the succulent. You can also plant the succulent in undecorated eggs, or eggs dipped in regular dye.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
