Beid Hamine is a popular recipe enjoyed in Jewish tradition, and is made by boiling eggs for up to 10 hours in a broth made with onion skins. Coffee grounds give the eggs their characteristically beautiful brown color.
This is the hardest part of the whole recipe! Add the eggs into a pot and cover with water. Add at least an extra 6 in of water so that the water does not evaporate out overnight. Then add the coffee grounds, olive oil, and onion skins to the pot.
Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and allow to simmer, covered for 10 hours.
Peel and serve!
