	| This is a delicious version of hard-boiled eggs. In Egypt there are special shops selling them; there, after the eggs have been cooked for 3 or 4 hours, they are put under the ashes of a fire and left for as long as 8 hours-this makes them as creamy as butter. Here is a simplified method of preparing them at home.
