I want to agree with everything PhotoChick has posted in this thread, as it is the same as what I would have posted myself!

I know certain Sephardic Jews would boil eggs for two days until the white turned brown. Supposedly it has a butter like consistency. All of my eggs break by hour 1, so I haven't tried this.

Hmmm... I don't think so. Those eggs would be runny. For soft boiled eggs, I boil them for 6-1/2 minutes.

I've never heard of boiling an egg for 2 days. I'll have to ask some Jewish friends about that. Sounds kinda yucky ... but what do I know!

I do know that tea-eggs are twice boiled - once until hard and then again in dark tea until they absorb the flavor and color of the tea. You get the same grayish green ring around the yolks in those eggs, too, but they're yummy.

I made tea eggs, and the recipe called for the boiled eggs to rolled to crack the shells and then resimmered on low for 3 HOURS. I didn't like the taste or texture.

But then I tastes "sweet meat" a simmered pork dish. It's a Hmong recipe and eggs are boiled with the pieces of pork in a seasoned broth. The eggs are simmered with the meat, so an hour or more, and they were really good as they picked up the flavor of the lemon grass and galangal (like ginger) in the broth.
