Red Cooked Eggs

Submitted by graffeetee

"Most folks are aware of tea eggs, but this has a different flavor. "Red cooking" is slow braising in liquid. The eggs become brown on the outside and very yummy all the way through. Sliced, they may be served solo, or I like them as a breakfast sandwich on toasted bread."
