  • Create the Crackled Effect: Gently tap each hard-boiled egg on a hard surface to create fine cracks without breaking the shell.
  • Dye the Eggs: Submerge the cracked eggs in the blueberry dye mixture for at least 1 hour to achieve desired color intensity.
  • Peel the Eggs: Remove the eggs from the dye and peel under cool running water, revealing the crackled design.

  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle poppy seeds over each filled egg and serve on a festive platter.
