As many eggs as you want
Food colouring (red, yellow, blue)
Prepare some water in a pot, put the eggs in it and let them boil for 9 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the food colouring in different bowls. You can create different colours, such as green by mixing blue and yellow together. Once the eggs are boiled drain them and let them cool. Then gently crack the egg shell on a flat surface. Once the egg shell is evenly broken gently dip the eggs in the food colouring and let the colour enter in the cracked surface. Put the eggs in the fridge and let them dry for half an hour (the more they stay in the fridge, the more the colour will dry out). Once the colour has penetrated the eggshell and has properly dried take gently off the egg shell. The eggs will have nice coloured veining!

1or 2 Potatoes per nest
2 Quail Eggs per nest
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
Clean the potatoes and peal them. Then grate them using a grater with large holes. Warm up a frying pan with some extra virgin olive oil and cook the grated potatoes slowly. Wash gently the quail eggs shell, prepare a pot with some water and dip the eggs in it. Boil them for 9 minutes. Once the potatoes are ready take some circular shapes (the ones you use for biscuits are ok or use an upside down glass) to help you creating circular shapes. Drain the eggs once ready and place them in the nests!
